title: How do I only get TOP-level child tags that match what I am looking for?
body: <p>For example, if I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;conversations&gt;
    &lt;status&gt;1&lt;/status&gt;
    &lt;conversation&gt;
      &lt;status&gt;0&lt;/status&gt;
      &lt;text&gt;Hi&lt;/text&gt;
    &lt;/conversation&gt;
  &lt;/conversations&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I go about getting &lt; status > for &lt; conversations > while ignoring &lt; conversation >?</p>
