Animals in prison/ time out

Some animals just don't get along together. We all know that. That's why we don't cage the lions with the antelope or the wolves with the sheep or the alligators with the the, well we they're just better left alone anyway. So why do we assume that we can put all these different stuffed animals in the same room without any problem appearing? I guess we shouldn't.
Matthew came to me the other day to say the sneaky snake had bitten Mr Elephant on the foot. Now Mr Elephant needed to rest in my bed because he could only walk on 3 legs and everyone know an elephant needs all 4 legs to hold up that weight. So Sneaky Snake was put on notice that if he did it again, he would be sent to timeout. Well not more than 10 minutes later I was informed that Sneaky Snake had in fact bitten Mr Elephant on the leg again. So Sneaky Snake was banished to the garage where he would not be able to bite any other animals. But banishing wasn't enough. He was tied up with a rope and pushed inside a box and then locked inside the garage.
We thought the other animals would learn their lessons, but no. A few minutes later, big Scooby Doo and Little Scooby Doo were banished to the locked garage because they were beating up on Monster Truck. And then Elephant, who had apparently miraculously recovered from the snake bite, got into a tussle with Monster Truck and was also banished to the garage. Monster Truck had to recover in Matthew's bed with the covers tucked up over him and a pillow for his, errr, head?
After a week, the animals were allowed back into the house. But I think the big lesson from this is that if we are going to buy stuffed animals, we need to make sure they are compatible. Just to be on the safe side, we are not buying any stuffed salmon for AnnaRose's room. I think the stuffed bears would just have a field day with that one.
