Relation, though poor, unwashed, and destitute could not, in all conscience be turned away, because she was, after all, his mother, so he decided finally to welcome her into his heart and into his home and allow her to sleep in the dog's quarters.

Surprises are pleasant, a rattlesnake in your mailbox is just plain jarring.

Jarring them snakes in brine was no easy chore for Edna, but it'd all be worth it in a coupla' months when she could sit down to a nice plate of pickled rattlers.
