Snail Girl

Amanda has always had an affection for bugs. No bug is too creepy, crawly or slimy for her to pick up and examine. As a little girl, she was especially fascinated by snails. When she was about 4 or 5 she asked me to drive her to the local Pizza Hut (which I did) , not too eat, but to scavenge for snails under the bushes. She's ten years old now and she's still at it. Nothing makes her more gleeful than finding an icky, slimy snail.
