Today has been a rather interesting day. After school, we harvested a couple coconuts, not by climbing a tree, but by using a ladder instead. Mom always says to work smarter not harder!
But, that's where the smart work stopped and the hard work started...
We didn't have a machete, se we used a saw. Big mistake! It took forever to get that coconut open. Good thing I used slave labor. Thanks Mom! :)
I think that we may have cut too young of a coconut. It had almost no meat inside of it. But it did have a good amount of coconut water inside. Mom liked the coconut water, but I didn't. BLECH!!!
While we were looking for a ladder in the garage to get the coconuts, we found a big black scorpion nearly the size of my hand. Mom thought it was dead, so we got the ladder and proceeded with harvesting coconuts. Later, when we came back, we discovered that it had moved and was clearly still very alive. So, Mom trapped it in a container until Dad was available. I then proceeded to watch the most gruesome death experience I have ever seen. It was cool yet gross at the same time. I admit that I felt a little nauseous afterwards. I took a video of it. You can hear Mom and I screaming in the background while Dad killed it. I'm debating whether to post it or not...
Sooo...
Question of the day:
Do you want to see the video I took? I need at least 10 of you to say yes before I post it. Let me know what you think. Are ya up for it?
