My daughter adores animals--to an obsessive point. I've never seen anything like it, really. So, I recently suggested that she someday consider becoming a veterinarian.
Erin: No, I don't think I could do that.
Me: Why not?
Erin: You know--because of the beeps.
Me: The beeps?
Erin: You know: Beep-beep-beep-beep-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
