Uncle Kent is such a boy....warning to the weak stomached.

So Uncles Kent, and Glen were getting some rocks for Grandpa and they came upon this lovely rattlesnake. AHHH! Typing it grosses me out. Anyhow, they killed it and then decided it would be fun to play a trick on me. So, they rang my doorbell, and the kids got the door I was close behind. He has this snake in his hands and he's shaking the tail and has the head. I of course do a little freak out dance, not realizing that it's probably dead. (dead or alive, they are horrible) He has to calm me down and laugh a lot. They decide that there is probably a mouse in it's belly, so it's a wonderful idea to get the mouse out. So they take it around the the patio where the kitties are. Christopher ran to get the camera. Such a boyscout experience. They didn't know how to skin it or they would have done that too.



Sure enough there was a fresh mouse in it's stomach. The cats were happy. It was actually kinda cool. I really like dead mice. Kent and Glen were pretty great with the kids, total boys themselves. Thanks for the adventure.... I guess.

So discusting, not yuck, I can't even look at it. But I love the fact that your boys loved it and that you let them love it and that you even blogged about it. They knew they would get a great reaction with the snake thing. You and snakes are guarenteed for a few laughs!
