i leisurely swept and cleaned, and got to the closet where the smell was worst. i started picking up the shoes, etc, looking for a little mousy carcass, AND I FOUND A ROTTING DEAD SNAKE!!! OMG, JUST OMF'INGG!! a ball python, about a foot and a half long. belly up and reeking.

this kid (aged 20, actually, but still a teenager in most ways), and her little brother, have been bugging me for a pet snake. i have said no in as many languages as i know. i hate snakes. i have let them get away with a pair of rats that turned into a litter of rats. i have let the boyfriend move in. i have let friends sleep on the couch, night after night. she has piercing and tattoos that i have never blinked about.
but i have drawn the line at snakes in no uncertain terms. and she not only snuck one in the house, but it got loose and she didn't tell me.
and now this.... jesus.
i just don't think i am going to survive these kids.

5. she's not here. it couldn't wait.

she's a good kid. she has had a rough adolescence, and she is mostly actually doing well. but shit like this keeps happening. always pushing the envelope. we keep trying to like the boyfriend. we call him eddie haskell. at least he finally got a job.
i called her. she got an earful. we will find an appropriate hell for the TWO of them.
oy.
