My Snake Story
by Kate Cunningham
The other day, I was cruising down the sidewalk on my scooter and I noticed a FAKE snake in the rocks next to the sidewalk. I told my mommy about it and she screamed from across the street “DON’T TOUCH IT! STAY BACK!!”
I didn’t realize what her overreaction was about until she came over and we became aware that it was indeed not a fake snake. He was very real and very alive.
I wanted to catch it and since my mommy has never been able to catch a snake, she accepted the challenge. So with daddy’s bbq tongs and a steady hand, she poked and prodded and eventually caught that snake.
Since he was our pet, I named him, not “Sir Hiss” the snake, but ROBIN HOOD. Robin Hood the snake.
We knew that daddy wouldn’t believe that mommy did it, so we put him in a cage until he got home.
Boy, was he ever impressed with mommy.
Eventually the snake was released back into his natural habitat. Mommy said “No snakes in the house!” I guess she’s not a TRUE animal lover as I’ve always been led to believe.
The end.

Kate the Brave. You are amazing. You might find some snakes in my yard when you come and plant flowers!!

Congrats, Jenn! I'm excited for you to have #3. I'll not give you my take on which number child is most difficult until after you have had yours :).
I am super impressed with your snake catching prowess. I would have cried. Literally.
And your commentary on my blog about MJ and modesty made me laugh. Taylor's wife, Jenny, laughs at me everytime Reese plays with Barbies because she always comments on how the Barbie clothes are not modest. I'm going to steal your explanation.
