Human: Is it okay to have a small pet in the house? Assistant: 
It depends on your living situation and the size of your home. If you live alone, or with other people who are comfortable with animals, then having a small pet might be fine. However, if there are young children in the house, a small pet may not be appropriate due to their age and lack of maturity. Additionally, certain breeds of pets such as snakes, ferrets, and rodents can be dangerous for children. So before deciding whether or not to get a small pet, make sure that everyone in your household is comfortable with the idea.
