When my kids were in their preteen years, they learned that coastal Texas supports a large population of alligators. They wanted one, or more.
I told them that if they caught an alligator, I’d let them keep it, and I’d set up a caged pond in the back yard for their gators. Didn’t think about it again for about 15 years.
Then my son comes back from a visit to a friend in Beaumont, and asks if my promise was still in effect. Fortunately, he’d only seen a bunch of young gators in his friend’s local lake, not brought any home. But yeah, I’d keep a few out back if only to keep the cat on her best behavior.
