I'll Never Doubt Her Again

2:20, today
Me: Hey Mom, let's go for a walk!
Mom: Nope, it's "snake-weather".
Me: What? No, it isn't snake weather.
Mom: Yes it is. I went out on the porch a few minutes ago, and I felt it in the air. Snake weather. Go see for yourself.

2:25
Me: I went outside, and I'm quite sure it is not snake weather. It's too windy!
Mom: I don't think they care if it's windy.
Me: Sure they do. I only see snakes when it's very still and warm. Too windy. We won't see any!
Mom: .....
Me: Well, ok, I'm going for a walk either way. It's up to you.

2:30, about thirty feet from the door
Me: See? It isn't snake weather!
Mom: I'm going to kill you if we see one.
Me: Oh, we're not going to OH MY GOD! AHHHHH!!!

2:35, back inside the house
Me: I'm so sorry, don't kill me, please!
Mom: You should never doubt my intuition when it comes to snakes.
