Room for One
I'd like to keep you, but I have no space for you inside my cramped apartment above Aunt Emma’s dust-filled garage. Plus, it's just not a good time, okay? My life is really hectic right now -- between waiting tables during the day and going to school at night, when would I find time for you? Besides, it wouldn't be great for you either, I swear. I barely make enough to cover rent and a few expenses, how on earth could I ever afford bottles, burpies, and binkies?
