today i hit a speed hump in the process of writing a piece about a boy born during the chinese year of the snake - my symbol too. i was stuck trying to think of the collective noun for a group of snakes.
i hoped it would be a murder, but thought it should be a pride.
a pride of mothers, that would be nice too.
now i sit on the hump thinking i'd almost prefer not to know. in case i am disappointed by the truth.

p.s. a bed of snakes, a den of snakes, a nest of snakes, a pit of snakes, a slither of snakes
