Why Did This Have To Happen?!

Let me just start this blog by saying this: I am not usually a pansy. Well... not usually. 

If I see a spider,  I don't cry. I'll try new foods, gladly. I got some guts. 


Snakes on the other hand... I don't do. I never have been a fan of those nasty little buggers. 


So here I am, minding my own business... making an amazing lunch at my home with Katie. I decided I'd be a good room mate and take the garbage out... *shakes head*... Upon opening the front door and taking a step outside I saw a tail disappearing down the top step. I started praying that it was a lizard... Sadly, it wasn't. 


Pretty soon I was standing behind my shut door, screaming like a little girl, and peering out the side window. I pulled Katie (who was also screaming like a little girl) over to look at it so she would know I wasn't crazy and there really was a ginormous snake chillin' out in my front yard.


Here is the conversation that followed:


Callie: WHAT IS THIS SNAKE DOING ALL UP IN MY LIFE?!

Katie: *Screams* I'm never going outside again!

Callie: So much for that run I was going to take...


*Runs to bedroom to look out the window*


Callie: I think SharpTooth (Yes, we named the snake) is trying to get into my house...

Katie: Did you lock the front door?

Callie: ..................No.

Katie: CALLIE!!! DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!??!?!?!?!


*runs and locks door*


Then we see our neighborhood kids riding bikes up and down the street. Because we are too afraid to open windows or doors we decide to scream at the window: WATCH OUT FOR SNAKES!! 


Callie: Wait... I'll give you 5$ if you take my trash out! 


So. Did we overreact? Um. Yeah. Probably. But I laughed instead of passing out. Good times. Good times. 


I would also like to thank our friend, Kaley Kelsey. We're too afraid to leave the house... so she's coming to get us... tomorrow. 


We'll be here... waiting.
