Trying to Make Good

Today I ran into a rattlesnake. I jumped and shrieked. So did the snake. I apologized for disturbing the snake. The snake accepted my apology.

To make up for my malfeasance, I took the snake to see the movie Scream 4. This turned out not to be a good idea because the snake hadn’t seen the first four Screams. I spent most of my time explaining what what happening on screen.

Someone came up to us during the movie and asked us to stop talking. They saw the rattlesnake and quickly left us alone. I was glad because that was one less apology for me to make.
