Really Universe? To BEMY's truck?

Poor, poor Bemy. A neighbor came knocking on our door today saying she drove over a huge snake twice trying to kill it when she came home and then she saw it crawl up into Bemy's truck near the wheel.

Bemy was freaked, obviously. The boys looked everywhere for it. Under the truck, under the hood, all around the parking lot and couldn't find it.
Brandon even took the truck for a spin around the block to try and get it to come out if it was still in there. I kept telling Mom it just couldn't still be in there somewhere but she insisted she knew it was still there. She literally was never going to drive it again and sell it asap.

Tonight, the neighbor came home and when her lights shone on the truck, there it was... hanging out of the back!!!! Sick, sick, sickness. Can you imagine Bemy's horror as she came outside to inspect the thing?

We were relieved to see the tail without a rattle. It kept curling around and around, twisting all up in her truck, dropping down occasionally. Sick!

And though it was a good little snake, it still deserved to die just for being nasty. I was surprised at how I felt a tad sorry for it when Brandon killed it. But for Bemy's sake, she had to see it die.

She wasn't satisfied with the head hanging on by a thread and demanded Brandon completely sever its head.

Poor Bemy. Really universe? You had to pick Bemy's truck? On Monday, I saw two snakes... a California king and then a road runner with a snake. What is with the snakes?
Good night. Sweet dreams.
