NOW how could Kay and I
make up our minds? (5.1-4)
Uh-oh… As soon as the narrator and Kay set eyes on all the other pets in the shop, it's hard for them to even consider making up their minds. Too. Many. Pets.

The cat?
Or the dog?
The kitten?
The pup?

It is something
to make a mind up. (7.11-8.3)
The kid's right—it's definitely tough to make up your mind. It's especially hard when you're faced with such an important (and fun) decision.

and pick it out soon.
You know Mother told us
to be back by noon. (12.1-4)
The thing is that the kids can't just dawdle around the pet store for hours and hours trying to make up their minds. Their mother simply won't allow it. They have to go home sometime… preferably with a new pet.
