You are in a room alone...

[Jeremyironseverything]

You are to be stuck in a room for a few hours. You can choose to spend this time with either a baby or a puppy. What would you choose?

If you can argue your case well enough, then I may consider letting you spend it with another type of creature.

I chose puppy.

Depends on the age of the baby however I would gladly swap my 17 month old for a puppy right this second...

But on the other hand with a baby their head has that lovely baby smell and they are like a little warm soft bundle of loveliness (when asleep/happy). OP you are making me broody.

If it was my daughter as a baby, her every time, if it was any one else’s kid, I’d take the puppy. 😃

Puppy.
Baby crying is like nails down a blackboard.
With a puppy I just have to chuck a ball about a bit and knacker the bugger out .

Baby...but only if the baby can be my now 15 year old DD...i would love to spend a day with her as a baby again

My dog as a pup, she slept and cuddled a lot!

Puppy, every time. I can clear up puppy poops all day, but changing another person’s baby’s nappy is 🤮-city. I had to do my niece’s once in a hot beach tent, and I thought I was going to expire - and DS was still in nappies himself, so I was well practiced. But dear god

Neither books for me both are hard work, I’ve never had either.

Either of my kids as a baby ? Definitely baby.

A random baby ? Then I will take the kitten instead !

Baby. Especially if it is a really tiny newborn one that hasn't properly unfurled yet and still sleeps all the time

Puppy. I love babies more but they are a person and therefore terrifying to be alone with it they are not mine! Id worry too much.

Yes!

I'd chose the baby, I might be able to make them smile or giggle, and to have a cuddle too.

May I have a parrot or a house rabbit next time please?

Baby if it's a newborn, at the age where you just stick them on your shoulder with their face snuggled into your neck and they conk out.

I've never had a dog, I wouldn't know what to do with a puppy.

I can kitten, though.

I'd also accept a baby goat, they're good fun and unutterably cute with their little gangly legs and jumping on their little tippy toes.

Can I have a kitten instead? Ands some kitcats, the chocolate for me, the foil for the kitten.

My baby or nothing please.

The roolz

. It has to be a random baby.
. You can choose the age up to the age of two.
. No puppies with bulging eyes.
. All alternative creatures suggested have to be authorized - so far all have been approved. I had to think about the otter and paddling pool, but approved with no liability for me.
. Books allowed but must be accompanied by a baby, a puppy or pre approved alternative.
. No fish

Ok if I can’t have my baby I’ll take a puppy. Any puppy shall do. And if anyone doesn’t want their puppy I’ll take theirs too. Lots of puppies please.

All alternative creatures suggested have to be authorized

Great. Presumably that includes my other items.

Anyone fancy joining me for steak?

Yay!! I get my otter with paddling pool
Thank you jeremy

3kidsareenough as the proud owner of a 15 year old DD who I really didn’t appreciate as a baby due to pnd that brought a lump to my throat.

I forgot the cow and large knife.

Can I take back the approval on that one? 😦😱

Can I have books and a couple of kittens instead please......

I couldn't be trusted with a baby or a puppy, could I have a tardigrade please? It would stand a chance of surviving.

Having had both in the past I'm only prepared to consider kittens in the future.
