Cause for panic :)

While checking out the job that my husband did killing the poison ivy along the storm drain yesterday I noticed a substantial snake skin along the water.  I told the kids about it and they were immediately curious.  While getting in the car to get dad we headed over to peer over the railing at the curious thing.  Anthony was hooked and stopped talking about it non stop the whole way.  I should really do a video of Anthony or at least my imitation of him going a hundred miles a minute about the snake skin.  On and on he went about how it was a white snake and how he shed his skin like the bug shed it's bones (cicada) on the tree.  How he wrapped himself around a rock and took his skin off and it was by our house in the water by the rocks where he shed his skin because he was white and it was by the road and he was in the water and wrapped himself around the rock because he needed to take his white skin off and so on and so on.  His mouth and hands were flying.  We walked to the car with the non stop babble and when he hit his car seat he looked me dead in the eye and said "Mom you need to call the cops!"  The kid didn't miss a beat!
