Not for the Weak

Anna Claire loves this man............
............and that man loves to torture me!!
Anna Claire is such a girly girl, so it may surprise you that she loves dirt, worms, snails, just about anything except spiders.  She panics when she sees a spider.
I picked her up from daycare one day and she had been carrying around a baby worm to show me.  (like I really wanted to see it)  Anyway..................Wednesday afternoon I went over to Momma's to get her bc we were going to Murfreesboro.  Big Daddy had picked Anna Claire up from daycare and she was outside with him and Pops.  I noticed a bowl of what seemed to be someones internal organs.  I inspected the bowl until I got completely freaked out.  It looked similar to this, but WAY WORSE!!
Momma rounded the corner and I asked her what it was.  Pops had gone turkey hunting that morning and killed a turkey, so it was the turkey's heart and 2 other organs, but I completely tuned her out once she said heart.  She told me that Big Daddy had to explain what everything was to Anna Claire.  I then turn around to Anna Claire walking in the door carrying a wild turkey foot/claw that looked similar to this, but the leg part was longer.
Anna Claire comes over to me and begins to pet my arm with the turkey foot.  This would be the turkey foot that had been attached to the live turkey earlier in the day before Pops shot it!!  Big Daddy comes in cracking up because he knows that I have to stand there and take it because if I acted freaked out, he'll fuss at me.  He doesn't want Anna Claire to be afraid of things like that, so he makes me act like I'm not either.  I took it for about a minute and then I couldn't stand it anymore.  Thankfully, she took the foot back outside to Pops!!
