Last Friday, Charlie and Wilson found and killed a "teenager" snake (apparently, it is OK to kill a teenager snake) while playing in the back yard. The decision of importance was who was going to get to keep the dead snake. Since Wilson was the guest, it seemed the right thing to do would be for Wilson to take the dead snake home in the glass jar - so he did. However, Wilson's mother wisely decided it would only be proper to let Wilson keep it for a day and Charlie the next day. So the dead snake was returned. A semi-formal funeral was later conducted as the poor snake was returned to the earth. In celebration of the snake's life and the 70 degree January evening, Laura and I sat on the back porch swing while the kids raced around the deck.
