What really bugs me about this one is how cavalier and lackadaisical the neighborhood parents seem to be. This one is much larger than the usual alligators we see in our lake.
My kids are adults and living on their own now. We’re empty nesters. But we would never let our kids play by the lake—without any supervision—while this thing is swimming in it.

Are you sure the parents know. It does seem a bit strange to let little kids play that close. It’s so easy to assume. I’m curious to understand their reasoning. [emoji848][emoji848]
If I think back to my youth, I probably would’ve wanted to be with my friends and be close enough to see it, then to draw it in, and then to get it to chase us. It sometimes surprises me I made it this long. All this would continue until I trip and almost get a chunk taken out, then that would be enough of taunting alligators for one lifetime.

And today me, I now no longer want to live in FL. I now understand why people want to live in AZ. [emoji23][emoji23]
