Male voice: Stay here

Pastors voice: Excuse me. What do you think youre doing?

Unbelievable! Have you ever tried to do something and then cover it up? Im talking about youve made a mistake, an error, and then very quickly, you try to camouflage the mistake. When I was in high school, my parents went out of town for a week. My brothers and I were happy because Aunt Betty and Uncle Wesley were staying with us and they let us get away with anything.
The car had just pulled out of the driveway. I watched it go out of sight. I jump in my car. I drive to the mall and I make a beeline to my favorite store, the pet shop. When I walk in, I see a beautiful boa constrictor in its aquarium and I look at that boa constrictor, he was poised there, the tongue you know, and I thought about my parents. Then I looked back at the snake and I thought about my parents, Ed, do not buy a snake; were fearful of reptiles. I look back at the snake. Then I said, Clerk, I would like to buy this boa constrictor right now. Id saved all my money. I paid for the snake. I was real excited, but down deep I knew I was disobeying my parents. I bring the snake home. My two brothers, they go ballistic. Ed, are you crazy? Mom and Dad will ground you for life. Youve lost it! I said, Guys, chill. Ill hide the snake in my room. No problem!
The days roll by and Im preparing for the return of my parents. I take the aquarium, I put the boa constrictor in the aquarium, put the aquarium on my six-foot-high chest of drawers (I was tall for my age) and I disguised cowboy hat boxes (that was during the big Western urban cowboy movement, you know) around the sides of the aquarium. No way Mom would ever know, even when shes cleaning because she's short, and Dad is not going to clean, I know that. No big deal! My parents come home. How are you doing, Mom, Dad?
They did see me with a couple of mice but they thought, Well, thats just
Ed Young Pastor. Then, though, I started feeling really guilty and after guilt, I felt fear. What if the snake gets out? Oh boy, what will I do? Finally, I walked in with the snake, Mom, Dad, I bought this boa constrictor. I came clean.
