Save a Snake...Spit!

The Mermaid and I were just watching the TV show Diego. You know, the one where the little boy who lives in the jungle has to rescue a different animal each episode. Well, this time the animal in trouble was an Anaconda snake who was trapped when the river she was in dried up.

The Mermaid saw the snake trapped and said "Oh No! There's no water! I'll save you, snake!"

She then proceeded to try to give the snake some water with the only means she had available at that second....she started spitting at the TV.

So now our TV is covered in spit, but the Mermaid is thrilled because she truly believes that her spit was enough to save the snake. She could only give a little, but she believed that even a small amount of help was enough.

Two lessons that I learned here:
1. Even though I can clean up poop, boogies, and vomit without a shudder, cleaning up spit makes me gag.
2. Every little bit helps. Even if you can't give much, believing that what small amount you can give will help is a wonderful thing.
