Once Upon A Time ....

Once upon a time there was a little girl, who found a itty bitty snail at the edge of the forest. She knew that she wanted to take care of the snail for the rest of its life and they would become bosom friends forever. The little girl was so excited, she ran up to her Mommy, to show her her new friend and the slime the snail was leaking onto her little hand. The little girl even said "look how cute the slime is." The little girls Mommy thought it was so cute she told her to run to the front of the house to tell her Daddy who was cleaning the windows.

The twist in this story is chili powder, the Mommy had ran out of it while cooking dinner (Navajo tacos, very delicious) and really needed some. So the Mommy got in the car and drove out the LARGE drive way to go to the store. What the Mommy did not know is that the little girl had dropped her precious snail in the LARGE drive way. When the Mommy got home from the store she found a distraught Hannah saying; Once upon a time there was a little girl who found a snail and then her Mommy ran it over with the car.
What are the chances that I would ran over the snail with the car, with my luck or should I say lack of pretty good. Hannah found the smashed snail in the driveway and now I have to live with the knowledge I killed the itty bitty snail.

Escargot anyone...one my favorite foods:)
* For anyone who does not know what escargot is, snails cooked in butter.

I think that the only thing that could possibly make this situation worse for Hannah is to feed her the snail for dinner, haha! :)
