Lizzie and Indiana Jones


So the other day Jeremy was out grilling our dinner and had both Abby and Lizzie with him in the front yard. I was inside nursing Will feeling guilty that once again Jeremy was cooking dinner. Jeremy brought in the steaks and said that dinner was ready when all of the sudden Lizzie came running into the house, "Danger! There's danger outside. Mom, Dad it's an Emergency!" my heart sank; Jeremy dropped what he was doing and ran outside. I was sure Abby was in trouble with something. Then I asked Lizzie to describe the danger to me. She said there was a snake outside. My heart finally came back to me and I sighed. They've been doing some construction across the street raising all kinds of snakes, mostly blow snakes, and bugs from their cozy little homes in the field. Jeremy came back in and all was calm again in our home. Later that night my little brother called from Miami to talk to Lizzie (He's such a good uncle) and this was the conversation I overheard:
"Hi Uncle Garret. Guess what I saw a snake today."
"Ya it was really nice. My Dad ran over it with the car. Snakes are nice when they're dead. They don't bite you or anything. You can touch them and they'll just sit there."
"No I wasn't scared, it was just a blow-up snake."
I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard.
If only Indiana Jones could just remember that snakes are nice when they're dead maybe he wouldn't have the fear of snakes that he seems to struggle so much with.
