Before we invested in our first exotic pet, our family took a vote. Ballots were cast and counted. At last, the ghastly results were in.
“It was rigged!” I wailed. “A clear-cut case of voter fraud. There was a miscount. I saw Eva cast a vote on behalf of her deceased great-great grandmother. Someone bused in an entire fleet of illegal herbivores. Why do the LaRivieres up the street get a vote? They’re not even French-Canadian! Fools, all of you! Just look at what you’ve done!”
But alas, blind democracy prevailed, the results irreversible—with consequences as cataclysmic as an asteroid blotting out reptilian world domination as they knew it.
Say hello to Bonnie and Clyde, Tyler’s new Russian tortoises!
