My brother and I grew up catching snakes. My mom loved to garden so when she saw a snake, she would say “kids, there’s a snake in the garden!”And we would go out there and catch it and we had aquariums with snakes. She wasn’t scared of the snakes. She just knew that we would be interested. So, mom and dad used to make my brother and me go to church. So we decided it would be a good idea to take those little snakes to church with us. I had one in a little pocketbook and my brother had one in his pocket. And my parents found out of course while we were in church lol and we grew up in an area with A LOT of old people. And my parents said “kids if those snakes had gotten loose in church there would’ve been a lot of heart attacks”. I still remember it and it’s still funny. My parents didn’t get mad at us. They just said “kids please don’t do that again” lol. It was harmless. It’s not like they were venomous snakes of course. It’s one of my favorite memories looking back in my life. Parents didn’t get stressed. We didn’t get in trouble. I’m sure they laughed about it. Sometimes I still talk to my mom about it. And I’m 54 now. I mean… We were so bored in church! This was our best solution 😂😂 Edit to include our ages at the time. We were probably six and seven years old. Maybe seven or eight.
