The Snake Made Us Do It


Sometimes my family makes me smile just because they are there. Other times, my family makes me smile because of the hilarious antics that happen in my home.

The other night, for example...

Monty needed some help in the bathroom. As he was sitting on the pot, he looks up at Other and says:

"So, Dad...can you tell me the history of snakes?"

That's right. The history of snakes. I was in the living room and I overheard this conversation, which made me laugh. A lot.

After much laughter, Other debated on what to tell him. I decided to inform him of the Christian creation story, much embellished (to tell you the truth, I practically turned Adam and Eve into Superheros with God being the Superhero mastermind. It was genius.)

So once creation was explained, I got to the snake part.

Long sigh from Monty.

"Finally...you're to the snake part."

That's right. He sighed at my awesome story. All the kid wanted to hear about was snakes. He was totally serious about it. Turns out, he really just wanted to hear about the different kinds of snakes and which ones have poison. Then Other and I had a debate about the most poisonous snake in the world.

Other says water moccasins.

I say King Cobra.

I'll Google this.

In crafting/baking news: nothing is new. I have a rockin' turtle stool waiting for a cushy cover (but I can't find the staple gun). I've done several baking creations, but always forget to take pictures. Sad.

I'll have something soon.
