Snakes give me the creeps/chills Ewwww. Along with mice,rats,bats, they just terrify me.
One time at work a mouse ran by my desk. I immediately screamed and stood on my desk. Would not relax til the custodian got rid of it.
My co-workers laughed but I don't care. I hate them.
Another story...a couple weeks ago my church had its annual festival which I took my grandkids to. They had scheduled a "Reptile Show" (thought of it makes me cringe) but I knew my grandkids would like, so I took them the day of that show. I backed away and went to another area as they oohed & ahhhhed over the slimy things. When I returned to check on them, my granddaughter (9 yrs) had a huge ugly snake wrapped around her. Holy crap I thought! She's smiling and happy. I'm thinking "girl, you're flippin' nuts.
