So, my little 4 year old nephew's other aunt, his mom's sister, took him to the Academy of Science the other day. In the kids' education area, a naturalist had a boa and was telling the kids about them. Every question he asked the kids about boas, my little nephew's hand shoots up, and he knows the answer -- what they eat, how they eat, where they come from, everything. So the guy asks if he has a boa, and my nephew says, yes, he has two, named Crawl and Yellow.
I'm sure the guy was hugely impressed, both at my nephew's vast knowledge of boas and the fact that he had two of them at home at such a tender age.
What my little nephew failed to mention, and the guy never found out, is that his boas are stuffed animals.
Am I just biased, or is that not totally adorable?

That is FABULOUS whether you are his aunt or not! Love it!

Not biased, very cute. But maybe *I'm* biased as my little niece had an imaginary pet snake for several years.
