More Adventures of Snake and The Evil One

At sunset today Hanukkah begins, so in honor of something I heard a moron say several years ago…Happy Chaka Khan to our Jewish friends! Today is significant in many other ways: in 1791, the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution (Bill of Rights) were ratified. In 1891, Dr. James Naismith introduced the first version of his game we now call basketball in my home state of Massachusetts. In 1966, Walt Disney died and forever became an animator-cicle (wait for it…). And finally, Adam Brody of Fox Television’s The O.C. fame was born today in 1979. Yes I watch The O.C. and Gilmore Girls, what of it? Maybe The School Girl makes me watch them or something. Isn’t that right Uncle Grizz?


The other day my sister, La Hermana, was reading a story to my nephews Snake & The Evil One. I understand that they were laying about very quietly listening to the story in the bedroom probably in preparation for the evening’s slumber.

Out of the blue, Snake jumped up with fervor and stood facing the bed. “Hey Mom, get a load of this!”, he exclaimed. Snake proceeded to lift his leg towards the ceiling and scrunched up his little face. It was at this moment that everyone knew danger was lurking. Snake released very audible (and odoriferous) flatulence!



Sometimes it amazes me what little kids can do. One minute Snake is whooping you at a Tony Hawk video game or showing off that he knows more Spanish than you or another minute he is releasing paralyzing nerve gases. Ain’t they just the cutest things?
