At the pet store

To give Andrea a break from the kids, which I don't do nearly as often as I should, I took them to the pet store to look at fish, birds, cats and rats. Brita thought the guinea pig was a mouse until I told her what it was. As we continued browsing, an employee approached and politely asked if there was anything we needed help with.

Brita: We're just looking at the animals.
Employee: We like having people come and look at the animals.
Brita: We looked at the pig.
Employee: Oh, the guinea pig?
Brita: Yeah, I don't know why you guys have a guinea pig.
