Only. When we got home he told me “Mom, I Can’t Wait until my egg hatches into a baby dragon!!!!” I panicked. “Well.” I said, sweating profusely. “The thing about dragons is…they actually take 300 years to hatch.” At 3 ½ he wasn’t really sure what that meant. “So it might not hatch during your lifetime. But you are responsible for the egg and taking care of it and keeping it safe, okay?” I told him what an important responsibility it is to care for a dragon egg. How special and precious it is. So he reads to it every day, says good morning every morning, good night before bed, sometimes he takes it out of its nest box and holds it, extremely carefully. In the winter he wraps it in its own little blanket.

Hattie: Mrah

Me:

Someone: “I want a cat or dog but I want to only feed it a vegan diet.”

Me:

Someone: “I want to have a pet but I basically never want to interact with it.”

Me:

Someone: “I want to get my kid a cute pet for Easter/Christmas!”
