Things I wish they wouldn't pick up

Dear Abby and Caleb,

I don't care that you thought it needed to be rescued.

I don't care that you had the perfect box to put it in.

I don't care that you really, really wanted me to see it.

We do not pick up snakes, and we definitely don't bring them inside to show me. Period.

For the record, this one isn't venemous. But seeing as you don't know the difference in safe and unsafe snakes, we're going to assume all snakes are dangerous and stay far, far away from now on.

Yes, you may still pick up worms and snails. But not snakes. Never, ever snakes.

Understood?

Sincerely,
Your mom
