Oh, come on, there’s no such things as “a few tribbles around the house”.
I mean, sure, you can briefly have “a few tribbles around the house”, but very soon it’s “a few more tribbles around the house” and then “wow, sure are a lot of tribbles in this house” and then “oh god, oh god, make them stop.”
And then Klingon warriors show up to exterminate them, which usually leaves your house a mess.
