How to Train Your Python

What sort of fun can two kids have with a python?

Rosemary and Regan stood in their backyard behind the house with their pet python Slinky. The large snake coiled his elastic body up.

The girls tried teaching Slinky fetch. Never budged.

Next was hide and seek. Slinky stayed in the same spot.

The girls later tried to teach him to jump through a flaming hoop until their mother stopped them from setting fire to their hula hoop.

Coloring?

No.

Hopscotch?

Nothing.

Tea party?

Nada.

Rocking out on the electric guitar?

A level of Major Rager?

Tag?

Nothing phased this snake. He was motionless as a statue, blinking his deadpan eyes and flickering his forked tongue. Finally, Rosemary and Regan collapsed, too tired to try anything else. It wasn’t long before they both fell asleep under the warm sun.

Slinky then made his move. He uncoiled himself and slithered through the green grass to where Rosemary and Regan napped. The two sisters were huddled together yet left enough room for the large snake to fit his narrow body between them. Once comfortable, Slinky closed his eyes, resting with his two favorite humans.
