Convincing Parents (ugh)
My parents are very stubborn when it comes to snakes. They really do NOT want me to get a snake, although I love them and have wanted one for several years. They don't understand this topic as they should and the reasons they don't want me to have a snake are the following:
1) They think I'm not going to clean up its poop and cage when it uses the bathroom. My mom draws this from her personal experience as a child with a pet snake, but she's not me, and that's what she doesn't understand.
2) Every parent puts up this argument-- that oh, uh, you can't take care of your snake when you go to college-- well unless you're some savvy time traveler you don't know what my future is going to be, and you're the one who's always like, oh, yeah, cross that bridge when you get there but apparently that doesn't apply to what I want, does it, now? I sort of get this, but still!
So what should I do? This is really annoying and I've thought about sneaking a snake in somehow or going to a reptile convention and brining a snake home that they simply can't say no to-- and plase don't say, welcome but I can't help you here. Reply if you have ideas, and if you don't, then don't say anything. Thanks! I need all the help I can get.
