My Snake Blake

A boy is very excited (his mother not so much) when his father brings him a special snake for an early birthday gift.  This is a very special snake because he can spell!  Ask him his name, he tells you, "Blake" by moving his body into the shape.  The boy's mom is not as taken with the family pet.  Of course Blake just spells (tells) her to, "Relax."  Eventually even mom has to admit that as far as snakes goes, Blake is pretty good since he has never bitten anyone, can cook, does dishes, and catches flies.
