snake handler

Amelia and Seth recently went to a "reptile birthday party". Seth was intrigued, but Amelia was mesmerized by all of the different creatures the "reptile guy" brought with him. She wanted to be as hands on as he would let her be. The guy even let her "snake-sit" after the party, while he packed up his gear. Amelia loves all kinds of animals, even scaly ones. She tells me that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up.

Seth doesn't seem to be attracted to a career with animals, but he surely had no fears at all about holding snakes. He likes danger and talks about being a fireman. I can see a bright future for Seth as a "Carny", if the whole "fireman" thing doesn't pan out.They asked if they could get a pet snake. I don't want to encourage that sort of thing. Speakin' in tongues is one thing...snake handlin'...well, that's an entirely different subject.
