Deanna: "Mr. Swenson got a new snake. He showed it to us in Science class today. He put a mouse in with it.
Boys: "GROSS!" "Cool!"
Me: "Did he EAT IT?" with great disgust in my voice.
Deanna: "No. And the mouse kept pecking at the snake."
Me: "YAY! I guess so. You'd peck at something, too, if you were just waiting for it to eat you."
Deanna: "I actually almost felt sorry for the snake."
Me: "You've got to be kidding. Snakes are gross."
Deanna: "You wouldn't think so if you heard Mr. Swenson. He told us how everyone thinks snakes are evil but they're really just misunderstood."
Me: "DEANNA! Get over it. Snakes are cursed by God. Satan took the form of a serpent. Man is at enmity with snakes. God made them crawl on their bellies. They're cursed."
Deanna: "So are we."
Me: "Don't talk to me anymore."
I hate it when she's right.
