I found the COOLEST road kill yesterday. The biggest snapping turtle I've ever seen! I"m not kidding, the head is the size of a softball. It was very, very, very dead; the guts were 100 feet down the highway. It has claws an inch long, and spikes on its' tail. The shell looks like something you'd find on a dinosaur.
So, being the unique mommy that I am, I took the kids on a bike trek to see it, and we brought a big garbage bag and shovel so we could take it home, bury it, and see if the skull will remain for us to have a souvenir. We really had to take a good look at those claws and spikes though, it was just so cool, and being that I'm 37 and have never seen one close up, much less that big, I figured it's an experience they'll remember.
Earlier this week, I caught a few snakes for Elijah, and then it got loose in the car while we were driving (long story as to why it was in the car). Elijah was screaming "it's loose! it got out!" and everyone went nuts. I found him right away under something in the cargo area.
And I DO tell the kids................"I hope you appreciate having a wierd mom, because I doubt your friend's moms are bringing home roadkill and catching snakes for them"
