Grandparents :)

My great-grandparents on their wedding day about 60 years ago.

I just had to share a couple of the stories my great-grandparents told us when we visited them. It cracks me up to hear their stories, and I think my family cracks them up as well!

{~As told by my Great-Grandma~}
When we lived at our house down by the river, their was an old abandoned shed down the way. Now, I think that it had lots of little critters in it, and since nobody was using it, they burned it down. Well, there sure was a family or two of snakes living in there, cause I walked out on the porch the next day, and their was snakes everywhere! They covered the bushes and and front lawn and the entire porch. Now, the girls were at school, and dad was workin'. Now you know, we didn't have cell phone in those days, so I couldn't call dad, so, I grabbed the dandelion weeder, and started stabbing them. I killed 73 snakes. I'd stab 'em, them pick 'em up and throw them in the driveway. Now, you now, snakes don't just die and not move, they wriggle and wriggle and then they stop. So when I was done, I had a driveway full of dead, wriggly, snakes. The End

When I was a little kid, we had lots of cats. Now, there was this one cat, it didn't have a name, but it was my favorite. I loved this cat, and we played together all the time. We also had a big woodpile next to our house for our stove. And this woodpile was filled with mice. Lots of mice. So, my mom told me to bring my cat out there and eat the mice. So, I brought her out, and said, "Go get 'em. Eat up those mice. And so she ate the mice, then fell over and died.
Then End

There's a bit out doubtfulness about that last story, but it's claimed to be true, so, believe it or not.....So, there's your story for the day! And I hope you found them as strangely amusing as I did!
