Today our AP brought his son's snake to school. He had promised the students that if they got so many AR points he would give it a kiss. I am not a fan of snakes. It's not that I have a phobia; I just don't like them too much. In fact, when our AP pulled the snake out of the box I moved to the back of the room.
After he kissed the snake, much to their pleasure, he allowed the students to "pet" it. When almost all of the kids had had their chance to touch the snake, I decided I'd put on my brave face and touch its scaly skin. Then out of nowhere I hear myself asking, "Can I hold the snake?" I didn't have time to regret the question. Suddenly I found myself standing there holding a boa constrictor (if I remember correctly). Once our AP passed the snake over to me, it really wasn't too bad! Take a look; I don't think I look nervous at all!
Um. OH. My. Gosh. I could NEVER do that. I am terrified of snakes. In fact, I personally believe they are Satan's little demons slithering around all over the place. They freak me out. Good for you. I am impressed.
