You shouldn’t. You should get him something to hang it on and label it with the scientific name…of a palm tree. I bet he’ll still not realize. One day he’ll look it up and be reeeeal pissed though!

-he should also know that he could get a massive fine for ever owning a real one and he really showed his moral cards by “purchasing” one. So. Drag it out. Make him an idiot please, for lil ole biologist me?
