That’s One Costly Snack

(My son occasionally has to stay home alone after school for up to an hour until I get home from work. This is one such occasion; we are texting.)

Son: “Can I have a snake?”

Me: “Why? What kind of snake is it?”

Son: “Snack?”

Me: “Okay, there’s some cucumber and carrot sticks in the fridge.”

Son: “Wait. I can really get a snake?”
