This has got to be a children's book

[scene: downtown San Diego. In car, driving.]

A: Look, Mommy, pigeons.

me: Uh-huh, pigeons in the street.

A: Mommy, I want you to hit a pigeon because then I can take it home and take care of it.

me: Uhhhhhhh, no. I don't think I want to hit a pigeon. We can get you something to take care of without hitting something. Would you like to help take care of the cats?

A: No. I want to take care of a pigeon. No, a lot of pigeons.

me: Uh-hmmmm.

A: But maybe we should have three cats.
