I pull Ty out of school later that day to take him to set with me, and all the way there, he’s still talking about that snake. Josh said his detail people didn’t say anything about having found any strange snakes in the car, and there can’t be much to eat in the upholstery of Josh’s Porsche, so I think it’s fair to assume that the thing slithered out, either while we were dealing with the seats or later that night.

“I’m not saying you can’t get a snake,” I tell Ty. “I’m saying you can’t get a rattlesnake.”

Ty perks up at this. “So I can get a snake?”

“No. You can talk to your mom about a snake. But you just got a dog, so I’m thinking one pet per calendar year might be a good family rule.”

“Aw, that’s not fair,” Ty says. “We’ve only had Rocket for a few months.”

“And we also have a newborn,” I say. “So new pet adventures are not on the top of the list.”

“But we got Rachel in the same calendar year.”

I give him a look. “And your sister is not a pet.”

He frowns at this, but clearly realizes arguing that point won’t get him far. “But I want a snake.”

“And you can want a snake,” I say. “But even if we got one, I’m a little afraid that it would get out and Rocket would eat it.”

Ty considers this. “He eats a lot of things.”

“Exactly.”

“I saw him eat an earwig yesterday.”

Gross. “Right.”

“And last week he ate one of your socks and Mom threw it away.”

So that’s why I’m one short. “Good to know.”

“And about a month ago he ate half an aluminum can.”

I stop at a stop sign for longer than necessary, so I can stare at him. “Rocket ate half an aluminum can? And he’s still alive?”

“Yeah. Pops left his empty Snapple can sitting on the floor.Nana said we might have to take him to the vet but then he was fine. So she said maybe he just chewed it, but half of the can was gone. Maybe he buried it.”

Or maybe, instead of a dog, we have adopted a very small and furry goat. “Well, I’m glad he’s okay.” I pause. “Where was I when that happened?”

“You were at the hospital with Rachel.”

Ah. I’m kind of glad Jenna’s mom had the sense not to text us at the hospital about that. Though we probably would have told her to take the poor dog to the vet just to be sure he’d be okay. “We’ll have to remember to keep cans out of his reach in the future.”

I show my ID as we drive onto the studio lot, and Ty looks around like he might see movie stars and actually recognize who they are. I’d say the odds are slim.

“So what am I doing here again?” Ty asks as we park. “Do I get to be in the movie?”

“No, you’re just going to hang out with me.”

“And meet the kid you work with.
