Two things that should be known about where I live.
1. I live by a field and a canal so we do get mice, rats, and snakes in our house. (Eww)
2. I live in a house with only females
Because my house is full of women our bathroom drains tend to get seriously clogged. My mother is a brave and resourceful woman who takes apart the bathroom drains and cleans every last hair out. Its disgusting and I tend to be in the opposite end of the house when she takes on that particular task.
Well the other day I came home from school and as soon as I came in the door my mother was calling into the bathroom to look at something. I responded by telling her that there was nothing in the bathroom that I would want to come and see. She made me come in anyway. In her hands was a pink bucket and inside was a black clump. Well she was poking at it. Gross I know. Then she looked up at me and said.
"We had a snake in our drain. Look at the snake skin"
I almost gagged and quickly left the bathroom. I do not understand how she was not disgusted by it. Motherhood I guess.
So later that afternoon my little sister came home from school and my mom was showing her pictures of the snake skin.
My little sister looked at my mom and said. "That's not a snake skin, that's a decomposing snake."
I'm assuming that all of the soaps and fruity smelling products that washed down the drain on a regular basis hid the smell.
I'm assuming the snake came from the field and found its way into our sewer and into our pipes.
Seriously, I am so grossed out by it... Just the thought of it dying while I was washing my face makes me nauseous.
