THE conversation that inspired Cootersnap
Micah doesn't have access to the internet at home, so she graciously shared her notes with me of the evening that cootersnap became a growing light in the back of my head:
Scott G.: I know more people who've lost their toes to snapping turtles than to lawnmowers.
Ang B.: Once they get a taste of toe meat they never go back.
Scott G.: I really dislike snapping turtles. Snapping turtles are nasty-ass creatures. I'm tellin' ya, snapping turtles are really fucking nasty. Don't ever walk barefoot in the Turkey River -- don't EVER do it. I hate snapping turtles.
Ok, so that was a portion of the conversation that was written down so that someday Micah might use it in one of her best-selling novels (unless I beat ya to it!).
Scott, my apologies for getting such a kick out of your hatred for cooter.
