It doesnt matter if i'm just telling her about a friend of mine that breeds snakes, or something cool i read on here. So right now im just *PaItEnTlY* wainting until i move out, then i'm gonna get a snake or 2 lol.

When I moved away from the parents house to go to university I was finally able to get my first snake. When they came to visit I hid him and his tank in a top closet shelf that had its own closing doors. I thought I was pretty sneaky. So my mom found it, but she didn't think I had a snake since there was a light and I had fake plants in there she thought I was growing marijuana. LOL

Funny thing was she wasn't really that mad about the plants so I just said ya thats whats in there. Thinking that the snake would be worse. Cause I told them I wanted to get one and they said they'd never come over if I did and to not get one.

But she was able to tell that I was lying about my grow op and something else was going on. So all I told her was

"mom the plants in there are fake"
She says " well then why is there a light"
I say " I don't know mom why don't you go look and tell me"

oh so funny this conversation in the middle of Costco... Thats how I knew she wasn't that mad cause she didn't remember to bring it up till we were already there.
