I'm not sure if this story goes here or elsewhere, but since the kid involved wasn't buying from us, I figured it fit okay in sightings. If it belongs elsewhere, please move it.
So my friend and I had a booth at the reptile show and were selling various snakes. Next door is a booth that is selling feeder mice, both the frozen kind and the live kind.
Kids are swarming around the tub with the baby and fuzzy mice, picking them up and handling them when the seller is busy with other customers and generally driving the mouse people nuts trying to keep track of who has paid and who's with whom and so on.
One little boy is holding this fuzzy mouse with grey fur, and he turns around to show us his hand with the mouse in it.
My friend jokingly asks, "Is that a snack?"
I add in, "A snake snack at any rate."
The look on the kid's face is best described as the "Oh-my-god-you-killed-bambi" look, sort of a mixture of disbelief and horror. He backs away from us, the you-killed-bambi look on his face the whole time.![Rolling](https://www.customerssuck.com/board/core/images/smilies/roll.gif)
Now before you all start flaming me, keep in mind that this was at a REPTILE show. My friend and I were just joking like we would with anybody else there, and most people would've joked along with us. I guess nobody ever bothered to tell this kid that snakes eat mice.
