Well, I have never had a pet before. When I was a kid, my parents didn't want to have one because they thought it would be very troublesome or problematic to keep it in our small house. Nowadays, I think I agree with them. I don't want to spend a lot of time and effort keeping the house clean and tidy. I'm afraid that in the future, I won't want one as well. Okay.
