(I am holding one of our Bearded Dragon Lizards for customers to pet.)

Customer: “Okay, so I know they’re Bearded Dragons, but what are they?”

Me: “They are Bearded Dragons.”

Customer: “I know that, but aren’t they a type of insect or something?”

Me: “No, ma’am. They are a type of reptile.”

Customer: “Oh. Are they related to the ones that breathe fire?”
