so this Halloween i decided two lucky groups of trick-or-treaters were going to get to see Yellow wrapped around me while i passed out candy (i picked these groups by being a creep and staring out the window).
first group was two adults and their very tiny young child. the parents weren't sure what to think, tho weren't really put off.
second group was of about five 10-year-olds or so (i suck at child ages). they literally didn't think he was real! he was slowly checking things out and sniffing, but they didn't think he was real!!! my mother was so excited (she "hates" my snakes) and said "he's real! touch him!!!" and she proceeded to pet him. i told all the kids not to touch his head and they were all very gentle and curious and pet his body. one kid in a creepy clown costume came up after all this and decided to pet Yellow. once the kid touched Yellow, Yellow slooowly turned to face the kid and check him out. the kid was slightly put off but it was awesome!!! my mom would pet him too and say how nice he was; that was new for her.
after this group, he was put away for being such a good sport.
this was so fun!!! i only wanted to do this with one group because of the cold, but i was the only one available when the doorbell rang before i could put Yellow away. if i could change even one mind tonight, it was worth it.
getting spooked is what Halloween is all about right?!??
