Haha I can completely relate to this topic! My husband and I are 27 and 30 and yes we feel the same way. When we got our first 6 we told my parents we were building a "shed". We got them and I just let my parents come over and they had to see for themselves. I always get the "are you sure about this?" or the " oh no" but in the end when they see them they always end up loving them. They also did it when we got our 2nd cat. My mom can't get enough of her now! We just picked up 2 new chicks yesterday from the feed store and didn't tell the 'rents. So again they will just have to visit and find out!
