He Is Terrified of Snakes

I am terrified of snakes he reported. I thought his story was a tiny distorted. I fainted away on my grandpa’s big farm. When one ran across my feet next to the barn. How old were you? Young? About for? It was two summers ago. No more. I looked at this giant of six foot five. The story had me doing a bit of a jive. Grandpa could not stop laughing he said. When I came to, my face was all red. The relative could not stop teasing me. This story somehow filled me with glee.

You know, I'm not really afraid of snakes, but when I see one, for some reason, I am always startled. Then, I generally watch what they are doing. My mom was scared to death of them. One time she really beat me was when I threw a toy snake on her unexpectedly. I think I deserved the beating.

She switched my legs good. Oh, I would never do such a thing as that ever again! It hurt mostly that I had hurt my mother.

They make your skin crawl seeing them slithering along, worse too if they're venomous. Tom
