a few days ago Mikhaila came home, very upset
a friend brought back slides from a China trip
there was one of snakes being skinned and Mikhaila thought she heard someone say that the were being skinned alive
please, someone tell me, they're not skinning snakes alive in China

I've been reading her stortes from "The Hopes of Snakes"
that day, unfortunately, we got to a segment about some awful things people had done to snakes in her area
I had to do some super quick, on-the-spot editing to make it suitable for bed time

also: I had a hard time writing this post, because many of the words that came naturally on this subject are unsuitable, even when It's not bed time
