When Aunt Janet comes to stay while Andy's mom is in the hospital having a baby, Andy worries that he will have to get rid of his many pets as part of baby-prep housecleaning. The story follows a predictable pattern in which Andy jumps to conclusions and slowly develops new understanding, but Andy's point of view is less well-developed than in earlier stories.
