>I can have the ferret but my dad doesn't allow it. He doesn't know that >I already have everything except the ferret and I'm afraid to tell him. >What should I do? Please help me! Having a ferret is a grown up task and responsibility. The animal is totally dependent on you. In this case, you have to be a grown up and confront your father as a grown up and deal with it. It is his house, you live by his rules. You will do no good to yourself or the ferret by hiding like a coward and doing wrong when you will get caught no matter what and soon. Confront your father one on one and talk it out. You may not win, but is what you HAVE to do. There are many things in your life to come you don't like to do, but have to, no choice. THis is just one of them. Gordon, Byte-me, Nibble-ed, Kodo and Podo [Posted in FML issue 3178]
