"Can we keep her?!"

Such a nurturer! Here's how this conversation went:
"Can I see if we have any mail, Mom?"
"Sure, honey."
(Front door opens and closes.)
"Oooooh! Mom, look what was out on our front porch! Can we keep her?!"
"Where do you think she came from?"
"Her parents are probably too poor to buy food for her and want us to take care of her."
"H..."
"Oh, Mooooom! Feel her! She's so cold! Her parents probably didn't have any heat either."
"W.."
"I'm warm so I could warm her with my body!"
"Th..."
"What should we call her?"
"W.."
"I know! Let's call her Theresa. That's a pretty name. Can we call her Theresa, Mom? Mom? Moooooom!! Are you listening to me?"
"Just a second, honey. Mommy's feeling a little dizzy."
