Python tales

Elvish: Mom can we get a lizard ?
Mom : No
Elvish: How about a Guinea pig?
Mom :No 
Elvish : I guess a snake is out of question then?
Mom: You got wise.That's right
Elvish :Yes I read that a python measures you so he can swallow you. So I didn't think having one is a good idea.
Mom : Yes , somethings in nature should be just where they should be
Elvish :Unless...unless you are fat , ofcourse the python can size you up all he wants , he can't swallow you!

This is just for me have that lingering uncomfortable thought in my head that he might just keep harping this another time .

Elvish : No !I will be in honor roll,I just won't enjoy it very much
