Michael (who was 2 at the time) encountered a live snake a few months back. He encountered it underneath his bed. (No, we do not live in a tree). It was truly so frightening and traumatic for him that Michael decided to pick up what he instantly started calling “my special snake.” It was about this time that Dannette walked in, noticed the “special snake” and went into a panic like any good mother would. By the way, I was safe at work the entire time.
Eventually, one of our drunk neighbors came to the rescue, and the snake did not survive. (But we told Michael otherwise). In no way was it a dangerous snake we had, but that doesn’t make it much less creepy. Michael is still talking about the “special snake,” and we often go hunting for snakes in the yard — someytimes finding one.
Aubrey also loves snakes, and we spent 10 minutes looking at the red spitting cobra today at the zoo. She couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it was.
I know, everybody’s got a freekin’ snake story.

Of course, if it requires another snake encounter to hear it, you are on your own.

ophidiophobia directly to you. Sorry ’bout that:)
