i awoke this morning feeling like a mother snake about to give birth. my body is fighting off something and one of my glands is ridiculous big. not being one to say something that isn't actually true i decided to do a bit of fact checking (this of course after convincing myself on web md that i didn't have cancer or meningitis hehe).
my father's side are storytellers. a long time ago my grandmother told me about how they'd found a snake in the house. it was big and had a big bump. if memory serves my grandfather took it out into the back lawn and shot it. this is about as easy to invision as my father doing the same. after the shot the snake died...but there was a noise from the bump. he cut it open and there were tons of baby snakes. he cried. he wouldn't have killed it if he'd have known.
this story gave me dreams of snakes comign through vents, in the house, everywhere for years. i never thought to verify how snakes reproduce until now--and apparently some of them do have their young inside--ovoviviparous.
i learned of a mother that thought she was going to give birth to a snake. her baby has/d harlequin type ichthyosis--one of the strangest things i've ever seen--very much looks like a snake. i've seen it before, but it hihnk this time even more so. so
sad.
last night we watched winged migration. i can understand why he cried. i don't like birds as much as other animals...but i think i may respect them more. my boyfriend who'd never seen me cry before saw me sob when the ducks were shot down one by one by hunters. i could never do that.
