Innocent Mr Snake violently beheaded in an unprovoked attack

The sight of poor Mr Snake greeted me on Saturday morning, laying lifeless next to the sofa.

I immediately accused the children of the slaying.

They told me it was not them, but, they had witnessed the savage attack. 

With further probing they told me that Daddy was the perpetrator and his weapon of choice … the vacuum cleaner.

RIP Mr Snake.

    Does that work on wooden snakes?

    I have a rather menacing one in Olly’s bedroom that keeps giving me the ‘evil eye’ every time I go in there. Gives me the shivers it does!

    Ooh you could extend Mr Snake and make him bigger better (que bionic man music in background) .

    None the less, has to be said hoovering the toy – school boy error. Bad Daddy.

    Is that the death of a draft excluder?

    How very tragic.

    We have a very ugly/annoying/noisy plastic elephant thingy that Munchkin refuses to get rid of, any chance Andy could come round and vacuum our house?

    As long as Daddy uttered “Snakes. Why did it have to be SNAKES!” after he did it (ala Indiana Jones) all is forgiven.

    We have a similar snake pet that also was beheaded accidentally the other day. This is obviously turning into an epidemic! Love your blog, happy to have found it while browsing for like minded moms.

    I seem to be the only one here who thanks the hoover and Daddy for the “mistake” he made.

    We all know that snakes hide in the bottom of our beds trying to lick our toes… what thats just me?

    You don’t want to get in your bed now cos you are worried there are snakes in it?

    Do what I do, keep them near someone else, there is a 2 in 4 chance the snake won’t lick your feet…

    Vicious. Reptile cruelty. I’m going to report you to the RSPCA or, better still, Liz Jones! She might rehome him…..

    oh dear, you must have a really powerful monster of a hoover

    Take it to the “animal hospital” and all should be fine. And the kids can pretend to be the vet’s assistant (they like docs and nurses already).

    Sniff! That is soooooo sad! (But fixable. Maybe)

    Bad Daddy!

    Poor old snake.

    I’m sure he will live again though – I have every faith in your sewing skills!

    Stich it back on then improvise a little scarf to go over the seam – then sprinkle some pepper on it. That should fix it.

    P.S. Award for you over at SIFTW x

    I agree, I think that head will go back on. No wonder your children have night terrors after witnessing that!

    Stitch his head back on. It’ll add to his character.

    :D
