I remember charging off into the woods with my friends in the morning and being out there all day, climbing trees, making tarzan swings, damning up creeks to make our own swimming holes, digging underground camoflauged forts to play army and a hundred other things. One time I remember I walked way back into the woods with a friend following a creek. We found this huge alligator snapping turtle, the shell was jagged around the edges and it hissed like a cat. We decided we had to take it back with us so we looked around and found this old metal box and put it in. But it kept trying to climb out so we found a piece of plywood and put it on top. That sucker was heavy! We carried that thing for what seemed like an hour finally got it home. My Mom was in the backyard and I said "Mom you should see this turtle we found!" She must of thought it was a box turtle, because when we took the board off, she leaned over to see and let out a scream like I'd never heard from her. "You take that monster back to the woods!" Aw Mom.
