Exs-s-s-s-scuse me, but what is that?

Little Miss Ava went on another walk with her Papaw Rich. She came back bubbly and excited as usual. Grinning, she marched toward me carrying a long stick. Again, not unusual for her. Then she giggled uncontrollably. As I was processing this, beginning to realize something might be amiss, she flicked the stick ever so expertly, and my thoughts were suddenly interrupted....AS A BABY SNAKE CAME FLYING RIGHT AT ME!

Yes, they found it. Yes, she flung it directly on me. Lucky for everyone, it was rather small and also no longer alive. But my heart is still pounding, thank you very much. Look closely at the end of her stick and you'll see what I mean.
