Last summer Lissa and I went for a walk. We saw a big fat snake in the middle of the road so we both hunkered down to watch it. She kept edging closer. I could tell the snake was pissed, it coiled up and hissed. She got close enough to nudge it with her shoe and I said "Get back! That suckers gonna nail ya." I'd forgotten about it.

Now it's December and she sees a snake on TV and yells "That sucker gonna nail me, Dawmaw?" What? I found out she thinks it means that it's poisonous. No, I explain to her that I meant bite and a poisonous snake has venom squirters, they look like extra nostrils. Nostwils? Yeah, those holes in your nose, those are nostrils. She shoves two fingers in her nostrils. Nostwils.

Now every time she sees film of a snake she shoves her fingers up her nose and yells "Sucker nail ya!!!" They should give me one of those shows on the science channel.

thats great! I could visualize you & Lis. I loved that. You guys DO need a show. It would be a comedy with a little "Jackass" thrown in! That would be fun!! I'm not kidding.
PS: Is that supposed to be "little pictures..."? Now I am not so sure!!! LOL.
Lissa is ADORABLE!!!!!
