Me: So, Adam, what did you get for Christmas?
Adam: A snake.
Me: Wow! Really? Did you name it?
Adam: Yeah. I named him Ray Lewis.
Me: Ray Lewis? You mean... the football player?
Adam: Yeah. He's the linebacker for the Ravens. They're my favorite team.
Thomas: Wait, wait, wait. You named your snake a person's name?
Adam: Yep.
Thomas: Why? It's NOT a PERSON Adam! It's a snake.
Adam: It's a reptile.
Thomas: Yeah dude... but why did you...
Adam: Leave me alone Thomas... Ray Lewis is the best player in the NFL... and tough!
Me: Yeah. He's a bad man.
Adam: No he's not. He's not bad at all. He's really, really, good. Probably an All -Pro.
