CJP: Mom?
Me: Yes, buddy?
CJP: Do you know what my favorite animals in the reptile house are?
Me: No, tell me.
CJP: The anaconda, the python, and the tortoise. But not the crocodile. Not one bit.
Me: Really? Why not the crocodile?
CJP: Because he is not friendly at all. At all!
Me: I see. So, is the anaconda friendly?
CJP: Oh yes. Not as friendly as the python. But very friendly. Well, sometimes by accident they accidentally might bite you. Or sting you. But that's okay. We would just get a band-aid for that. It's no big deal.
CML: It's no big deal!
CJP: Cordelia? Next time we go to the reptile house, if you are a little bit nervous, I will hold you up. That way you can see.
CML: Okay! You will hold me up so I can see them. And I won't be scary! Mommy, can I have some watermelon tonight?

This is one of my favorite recorded conversations ever. SO true to character. :) Don't be scary, Cordelia! I'm glad the anaconda is still in the forefront of Cody's mind. Maybe we will just have to go back soon.. again!
