'Round Here, We Shoot Trespassers

My nephew Carter is visiting for about 10 days. He was talking to his dad on the phone last night, telling his dad about all the exciting animals we've seen.

Carter: We saw a snake in the backyard. Uncle Roger killed the snake, Dad. He cut it's head off with a shovel.

Dad: Wow, Carter.

Carter: And we saw a deer and prairie dogs, too.

Dad: Did Uncle Roger kill those, too?

Carter: No, Dad. THEY weren't in the backyard.
