While walking home from school one day, a " + pet + " jumped out from behind a " + form.plant.value + " and tackled " + form.firstName.value + " to the ground.

At that moment, " + form.firstName.value + " decided to keep the " + pet + " as a pet. And on the way home " + heShe + " decided to name " + hisHer + " pet " + pet + " ''" + form.friend.value + ".'' When " + form.firstName.value + " and " + hisHer + " new pet finally got home, guess who was standing on the front porch? That's right, it was " + form.firstName.value + "'s mother, " + form.mom.value + ". And boy was she surprised to see a " + pet + " following " + form.firstName.value + " into the yard! ''What in world is that?'' shouted " + form.mom.value + ". ''It's a " + pet + ",'' answered " + form.firstName.value + ". ''Dah, I can see that, " + form.firstName.value + ", but what on earth is it doing here?'' said " + form.mom.value + ". ''It's my new pet!'' answered " + form.firstName.value +". ''Oh you think so do you?'' remarked " + form.mom.value + ". ''I wouldn't get your hopes up. You know how your father hates " + pet + "s. But, well, I suppose you can keep him until your father comes home.'' And with that " + form.firstName.value + " grabbed " + form.friend.value + " by the scruff of the neck and led " + hisHer + " new pet into the house--even though " + heShe + " knew " + hisHer + " father was probably going to dissaprove. Once in the house, " + form.firstName.value + " and " + form.friend.value + " played and played, that is until " + form.firstName.value + "'s favorite television show, ''"+ form.tv.value + ",'' started.

" + form.firstName.value + "! Get your " + form.butt.value + " in the " + form.room.value + "...NOW!!'' With that " + form.firstName.value + " rushed into the " + form.room.value + " to see what all the fuss was about. When " + heShe + " entered the " + form.room.value + ", there stood " + hisHer + " father, " + form.dad.value + ", pointing toward the " + form.furn.value + ". ''Will someone please explain that?'' asked " + hisHer + " father. Then, as " + form.firstName.value + " followed " + hisHer + " father's finger to where it was pointing, " + heShe + " instantly knew what " + hisHer + " father was so upset about. There, smack dab in the middle of the " + form.furn.value + ", was the biggest pile of " + form.animal.value + " doo-doo " + heShe + " had ever seen! ''I don't EVEN want to know how that got there,'' said " + form.dad.value + ". ''But you had better get it cleaned up now! And you had better get rid of whatever it is that could have done such a thing!'' Well, knowing " + hisHer + " father as well as " + heShe + " did, " + form.firstName.value + " knew there was no sense even asking " + hisHer + " father if " + heShe + " could keep " + form.friend.value + " for a pet. So without hesitation, " + form.firstName.value + " set out to find where " + form.friend.value + " was hiding. After a few minutes of looking, " + form.firstName.value + " discovered " + form.friend.value + " crouched beneath the table that " + form.firstName.value + " did " + hisHer + " " + form.hobby.value + " on.
