A couple of weeks ago, we had one of our grandsons (the six year old) up for the weekend. While we were waiting for our breakfasts at Katie’s, I thought I would spin a yarn for him, just for amusement purposes of course.

I conjured up the dreaded “Blood Sucking Snails of Winnipesaukee”. These creatures are 12” in diameter and their shells are clear and you can’t see them sliming across the bottom lake. That is until they find an unsuspecting swimmer and latch onto them and then gorge themselves with blood then you sure can see them.

Just about at that point I got a swift kick in shin from under that table. If looks could kill I would have been severely wounded.

However, Andy is a chip off the ole block and his reply was “Cool Papa, can we go diving and catch one”. All that weekend he pestered me to show him where they live, so I guess you say I really did create a new monster.
