First, a little background info: "Johnny" is the snake that Ezra felted from wool in the bathtub this evening.
Ezra: Johnny's going to pick the story tonight.
Lauren: I didn't know snakes could read!
Ezra: Are you kidding? Are you kidding? He's five. He's older than me. He can even do sign language!
Lauren: How can he do sign language if he's a snake?
