Well, let me tell you that Randy loves snakes. I mean, he loves them. (can you imagine???) He pulls over on the side of the road to get them out of the street before becoming roadkill (my preferred kind of snake, personally), he rescues them from the lawnmower, and anytime he goes hiking in the woods, he looks for them. yuck. I just cringe & shiver thinking about them. This weekend he was mowing our yard & Jackson came running in the house for me to come see what Daddy found. In that instant, i knew what it was.... a snake. But i had NO IDEA how excited Randy was going to be over this one. See, apparently this was a "king snake" (if you are like me, then this is when you oooh & ahhh like you care before carefully insisting the thing be removed from the yard even though you really wish someone would take a pitch fork to it!) & Randy wanted to keep it. Seriously, what was he thinking? He showed it to the boys (jackson kept a few paces away but Eli "pet" the thing!) & then said he wanted something to put it in because he was going to keep it until he could sell it since they are not usually found in the wild. I have to admit, the selling part had me for about a millisecond, but then i logically came back to my senses & said, "NO!" Here is the ugly little slithering thing.....
