I saw this on my hike today.
I wanted to poke it. And then I remembered that snakes have fangs (and that I am not 5) and I thought better of it. And then I realized, kids have it really good. If I was 5, I could have poked this snake and no one would have thought I was
a) cruel
b) stupid or
c) hoping to get bit by a snake.
Instead they would have thought I was a curious 5 year old who didn’t know any better…which made me realize that I have passed the age at which I should know better. And then I cried.
DAMMIT.
Wasted youth, man. Wasted youth.
