Keeping up with the Joneses, who are weird

Because I'd been good for a very long while, my parents decided to buy me a crocodile. Then all the kids on the block thought I really did rock. Till two weeks later, another kid’s parents decided to buy him an alligator! Shoot! And now some kid’s braggin’ his parents are gonna buy him a Komodo dragon. Oh, my God! This is way over the top! Will this neighborhood competition never stop?
