Quote #1

Then what do you know?
We saw two other kinds.
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.

Quote #2

The cat?
Or the dog?
The kitten?
The pup?
Oh, boy!
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.

Quote #3

We have to pick ONE pet
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.

Quote #4

"I will do it right now.
I will do it!" I said.
"I will make up the mind
that is up in my head." (26.1-4)

Good job, young narrator! After all that hemming and hawing, he finally makes a choice. What pet will they get?

Quote #5

The dog…? Or the rabbit…?
The fish…? Or the cat…?
I picked one out fast,
and then that was that.(26.5-8)

In the end, we don't even get to see what the kids pick out. Of course it doesn't really matter—they'll probably be over the moon no matter what pet they choose.
