I couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 the first time I saw the classic Lady and the Tramp, but when that rat scuttled into the baby's room, I wanted to go through the ceiling. I had pretty much the same reaction over the ball python found wrapped around an Illinois baby's foot last week. It's part "OMG, that poor baby," and part "OMG, icky, icky, icky, OMG," that goes through my head. I am a country girl. I am used to wild and wacky animals. But put them near a little kid, and I start hyperventilating. So I was impressed, to say the least, with how William Winans' parents handled the dangerous snake in their son's bed.![]()
