There's a snake in my bed!

So the other day, Cory jumped out of the bed where he enjoys warming himself under the covers, but all I noticed were the blankets slithering around. I started just as Ben walked into the room, and he asked what was wrong, and I told him I swore there was a snake in the bed! He informed me in a formal manner that despite what I knew from real life, the Bible says that snakes can't climb trees anymore.

"Anymore like, compared to 10,000 years ago, which you remember well?"

"I'm just saying, a snake couldn't possibly be in your bed because they're doomed to crawl the earth on their bellies or whatever!"

"I can't believe you just made a biblical reference to support a totally illogical point! I'm so proud of you."

"Yeah we should tell that one to your parents."
