Snakes

We were talking with the boys about things in North Carolina like the
sun and orange clay and fewer rainy days.

Jared: there are snakes in north Carolina
Jaden: are there snakes EVERYWHERE?
Rachel: no. You probably won't see snakes very often. But If you see
snakes there you can't touch them.
Jackson: why?
Jared: because they might bite you
PAUSE
Jaden: are their snakes in their yard (geep and grans - the boys don't
understand that their house is not, in and of itself, north Carolina)
Rachel: probably not. I've hardly ever seen any snakes there. They
live there but you don't see them very often
Jackson: I don't want to go to north carolina
Me: there's nothing to worry about. All the times I've been back to
visit I've never even seen one.
Jackson: yeah, but can we just stay in their house?

*sigh*
