The snake charmer
Guillermo has this adorable green t-shirt. On it is an outline of a yellow snake and above the snake is the word charmer. After he wore the t-shirt a few times I showed him pictures on the Internet of snake charmers. Social studies lesson completed.
The other night we found a snake near the front of our house and we watched it slither out to our mailbox, back to our driveway, into what should be a flower garden, and then into the grass again. I don't know much about snakes, except that I don't like them, but we did a quick check and didn't think this one was poisonous (please tell me if you have a different opinion). After watching the snake for awhile, Guillermo came up with an idea. "I will be a snake charmer," he screamed and ran into the house. He came out with maraca and played it for a bit. Guillermo noticed that the snake didn't seem interested so he ran back into the house. He returned outside, holding a harmonica, which is the closet thing he could find to resemble a pungi.
The snake paid him no attention, but Guillermo didn't mind. He soon was distracted by a gross dead spider on the driveway.
