Tina Jordan: Another pet favorite from the archives.

Another pet favorite from the archives.

"Two little girls, Jean and Mary Lackey, 12 and 11 years old, went on a spree in Manhattan last night ... Packing extra clothing and two miniature turtles in a suitcase, they took a taxi across the Brooklyn Bridge, stopped at a pet shop on the Lower East Side to buy five kittens at 25 cents apiece."

Then they asked the driver to take them to a hotel, where they told the manager, "We'd like to rent a room for our kittens and turtles."

Last line, of course, reveals that they helped themselves to the cash. I don't imagine Mom was pleased.

I understand these girls on a deep level. Sometimes, you just need kittens and a hotel room for said kittens and your miniature turtles.

I would have done exactly the same if I found $41
