Title: Garage - Henhouse
"My mother worked at two different grocery stores in Center which was about a 12 mile trip. She would come in tired but one day Jackie and I played a trick on her and she was not happy with us once more. Jackie had a bunch of Manchester terrier dogs. One was the Momma and she had 12 puppies. We were out exploring when we ran across a chicken snake that was long enough for all thirteen dogs to grab a hold of. We killed it and hung it up near the garage so Mother could see it when she came in about dusky dark. She did not see it until she got out of the garage and you could have heard her for a mile. We received a tongue lashing. This is now Greg's Henhouse."
