E arrives late last night at cub camp and gets his own personal safety talk
Akela: I just need to tell you there have been some Adders spotted nearby
E: no response
Akela: but it's ok, there's no need to worry, they are much more frightened of you, and they'll run away.
E: no reaction
Akela: and they can't get in the tents
E: still no response
Akela: E do you know what an Adder is?
E: no
Akela: it's a snake
E: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh....................
sometimes not knowing is better.
Sorry I laughed at that.
ReplyDeleteAm wondering if E stands for the same as E does in our house? My E has been a beaver/cub/scout and now almost an Explorer. Same bar of soap has been to every camp since he was 8 - its remained unused!!
No2's ambition in life is to find an adder!
ReplyDeleteThat would totally freak me out - I'm petified of snakes.
ReplyDeleteI've just arrived home to a wonderful surprise - your parcel full of lovely things. Thank you so much.
Have a lovely weekend enjoying this beautiful sunshine.

Poor E!!!! Did he go racing home as fast as his feet would carry him?
ReplyDeleteI was a bit unnerved on May Day weekend when Little Lad and I visited friends who live in a lovely straw-bale house on a bluff in Kansas. On their deck was the head of a rattlesnake dispatched by the dad a week earlier. Fortunately no additional encounters...
I see what you mean. I would actually love to see an adder, however I'm obviously not 9 so that might change things slightly. x
ReplyDeleteThat would make me go aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh too! I freaked out when we had a harmless little snake climbing up our rose bush!
ReplyDeletex
I feel mean for laughing
ReplyDeleteAnd at the same time I know I would run a mile and scream more than imaginable, so maybe I'm laughing more at myself?
Awww, poor E - I'd have done the same thing!
ReplyDeleteAmen! I just had a snake incident myself. Scared the stew out of me.
