Never ever use this sentence that is your title. I asked myself that the morning I was getting married and got the answer (posted as Ok, You Win). What a cute little granddaughter. She looks like she loves to tell stories. Your son's week was certainly eventful and she was so helpful in telling how it went.

Hello Barbara,
I'm so glad I don't have to deal with snakes here. I saw my share of them when we lived in Charleston. It sounds like there was a lot of adventure down in St. Louis. This was funny. Thanks for sharing this.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

    Thank you for the support. Her in Texas they can give a dog a rattlesnake vaccine. I asked my vet if Harley needed one because he does kill snakes. He doesn't eat them. The vet told me, "No, keep hi away from snakes." I haven't figured out how to keep snakes from the yard. LOL

Oh, Barbara, this is hilarious. The misunderstandings are wonderful, but then again, you do ask the questions before your son can answer. I love it. I do the same thing when I speak to my family. I had a good chuckle with this. Ulla xcx

This was really entertaining to read, Barbara. It is funny when children try to take over a story being told and I could tell you just wanted to hear what had happened. An excellent chapter, I really enjoyed reading it.

I was very amused by this story! I love how Eli tried to tell the story and you had to get the story told by someone else to get it to make sense. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Eli is a wonderful child, and I love her to death, but she's a hot mess, in the good kind of way. Thank you for the support.

I completely understand about sneaky errors making their way into our 'finished' work. Those little devils manage to camouflage themselves, hiding in plain sight.
Best wishes.

Maybe you should have waited for Sunday, so you could get some sixes. This is pretty funny. I was watching the movie in my head. I get color. The duck had a yellow band around its neck. Good story Karen

I am so very thankful that none of our sons ate any snakes, no matter how big or small they were. This is a very interesting story! You used very good descriptive words and I love the picture. Who is the little girl in the picture? It's almost 11 p.m. here and I am fixing to go to bed. I tried to read your story very carefully, but I didn't remember if it said who the picture was of. She is so adorable! Thank you for sharing.

Barbara,

This is another great story about your family. It is funny how little kids twist everything up. She told you a short hand version of the water, duck, and snake. Too cute

What a fun story. I could see little Elli all excited telling you about the week they had. Her frustration when you didn't understand. I chuckled at the part about the duck. Your son did have quite an eventful week, poor guy.
