I have two snake stories...I am terrified of snakes! I have two snake stories. <br /><br />1. My dad was mowing at our last house in Darlington South one day and all of a sudden my dad starts staggering backward. My mom thought that he was dizzy or something so she shoved him forward. He was like, whoa what are you doing there's a snake. So my mom goes and gets the shovel and gives it to my dad...he couldn't get it so my mom ended up killing the snake lol. I was about 7 or something.<br /><br />2. One day we were walking back inside from the backyard at the house we have now and my mom spotted a ugly mud brown yellow-bellied snake with a frog in it's jaws. My mom runs inside with us and calls my dad and asks him to call the animal control to come and get it. So, to make sure she knows where it is, she stood outside watching the snake. I said, mom I'm sure it could outrun you. She said, No, there's no way. <br /><br />Sure enough the animal control comes. Although he wasn't the snake handler so he was scared haha! He put the tongs over it's head and the snake slithers faster than my mom could run, luckily it was heading away from her. But, she screamed and ran inside and said Kelsy you were right! Well, the guy eventually got the snake but he had to wade in three inches of water with knee high grass to get it!FHL_Alwayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764679430186265792noreply@blogger.com
