So don't put it there

Paul brought home a few things from Exotica when he came from Salt Lake today.  One of them was this dragon.

I was trying to figure out a place to put it.  So I put it on my bookshelf by my clock to see if it worked there.  The problem with that spot is that it is right by the flimsy wallboard that is right by James' bed.  So I said:

Me:  James you had better not knock this off by kicking the wall or else.

James:  Or else what?

Me:  You'll be grounded for life.

James:  So don't put it there.

Guess he told me.
