I'm just trying to imagine my mom saying "fucking."
czaarticus
"Yeah I know lol fucking snails"
zombiskunk
Being excited or sad or whatever along with your young child is an important part of good parenting, so I hear.

Ignorance of what someone values leads to misunderstandings.

Obvious statements tend to lead to obvious realizations

What the hell is with the "xxx" at the end of the messages ?? Hugs and kisses ??? Or just kisses or just hugs?

I was really attached to snails as a little kid. I'm kinda mad at them for that little kid. I hope they didn't laugh.
xHeCTiiKx
The little girl should really just let it go.
xHeCTiiKx
I'm sorry.
HungrySofa
But not snelsa? What a waste ...
Schmuck4hire
I'll be honest, I feel pretty bad for the kid.
monkeyonastring
Once when I was little, I bought $1 worth of worms from a bait shop and kept them as pets.
Schmuck4hire
Were stones to turn over just not accessible in your day? XD
monkeyonastring
My grandad did suggest a pet rock, but I liked my worms. I fed them apples.
Thesaya
Me too. I had pet snails, pet spiders and such when little. I kept the spiders in a bucket, always confused me when they ran away.
Schmuck4hire
I feel even worse that she called them Anna and Elsa. She was pooling so much childhood joy into those snails... X3
GeneralZain
hahahaa xx
Nightelfbane
These people seem like cunts
Sheepyhead
The fun part about snails as pets is that they're easily replacable :D
jsktrogdor
I've always thought that snails are adorable. They're super curious blind little squish sausages.
bimpnottin
I was always laughed at when I was a little girl and I said they were my favourite animals.
atombongsmoker
Are they blind? I thought those two things sticking out of their head were eyes. Although, admittedly I don't know much about snails and -->
atombongsmoker
I may have gotten the majority of my information from cartoons... I doubt that's at fault here.
lionsilverwolf
If they're anything like aquatic snails the eyes pretty much only tell them that there is light there, think how you can still see light >

mom let us keep yard animals (snails, frogs, grass snakes) but there was a rule we had to let them go after a week. had a terrarium for em.

Still British m'love.
ShivaTheDestroyerOfWorlds
Judging by the "Aye" I'd say Scottish.
iDrinkDrano
I say aye and I'm nowhere near either of those places
TheThingNoNotThatOne
What's the difference? (oh god please don't kill me it was a joke I swear)
MetaVulture
YOU'VE JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!

Account says Derby, which is in the English Midlands. If her people are from north Derbyshire or around Manchester, Mam is a possibility.
Schmuck4hire
What makes you so sure they're brits?
ZimGenzko
Owning pet snail is very British indeed.
thecompanion
Okay everyone, calm down. The x's are a British thing. It's normal.
Leah24
That confused the shit outta me when I moved here. Now it's x's for all.
thecompanion
Yeah same! Now that I'm back home I only do it for my partner (who's Scottish). It's a bit of a nuisance though
affib
Americans understand xoxo is hugs and kisses. We just don't use them regularly, I've never seen them in a text.
thecompanion
Exactly what I was explaining :)
affib
I know. :) That's really cute, though. I like it. I've only used xoxo just once in a sarcastic/passive aggressive text.
llewellynstormy
America here, explain please!
YouareTheCatsPyjamas
Do you not xxx at the end of texts to friends/family?? Shit. I must have really creeped out some people.... Who do you xo or xx to?
illegalacorn
xxx means porn, not friends and family
llewellynstormy
I know about xoxo for hugs and kisses... But it's not used a whole lot.
ATuningFork
Wait, what? Do non-Brits not put kisses as x's at the end of messages?? How do you express your constant, tortured love for everyone???
YouareTheCatsPyjamas
Have we discovered a lesser known trait we share? Report in now Brits, Aussies, NZ's! How bout you Canada? Do you xx?
thecompanion
As a Canadian - nope no xx! My parents send an "xoxo" sometimes but that's it
LadyMidnightToker
My daughter had a pet snail named Gary for 9 months then he fell and broke his shell and died.
Atria
Poor thing :(
SocialJusticePaladin
This same thing happened to my sister. ...mum?

HAHAHAHA GAAAAARY!
ElegantKitty
I used to collect old snail shells and bugs when I actually went outside. That is pretty neat. :D
LadyMidnightToker
I did too!
ElegantKitty
:D I kinda miss doing that.
BoopBoopDEEDoop
Lmao "when I actually went outside."Those were dangerous times
ElegantKitty
Well, I'm agoraphobic now. So. :( But I am working my way up to getting over it and going to move somewhere I actually like asap. :D
willowed
Aww :(
live4thebus
But I thought that's what a slug was D:
dartech2461
Slugs have no shells, snails do
live4thebus
I thought a snail with no she'll was just a slug. Like a slug is a shell-less snail. That's snails can survive with no she'll. BLASPHEMY!
dartech2461
they are separate animals
live4thebus
My whole life has been a lie
caughtyoulookin
Wow you’re a fucking retard aren’t you
Ofishial
Snails have organs inside their shells
DoctorBaboon42
My mom had two pet snails called Ash and Gary. The other lived like a decade, while the other died at 5 years after eating soap.
LadyMidnightToker
I didn't realize they could live that long.. Wow.. That's incredible.
INoLongerCareBoutThisName
Soap? Why? It doesn't taste good
MysticalPidgeon
But what about the other?
Helenyeller
Those x's at the end of the first couple messages are slightly annoying

kisses. like xoxo is kisses and hugs
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
You need bigger things to annoy you. Honestly.
soggyscone
Right? Who kisses you every time they finish a sentence?
Odysseo
My grandma does. Even on Facebook comments.
kfrex
Moms who text
thecompanion
*British people
Odysseo
They're meant to represent kisses. Like kisses and hugs are x's and o's. XOXO....
Tornadotaco
Snails always wunna come but they never wunna go
DressInDragAndDoTheHula
Has... Has the world reached the age where XO is no longer recognized as meaning kisses and hugs?
JTeenmining
The problem is they're just xes, if they were alternating or even xxoo it would be better...
The4thKindOfPerson
Maybe its a Brit thing but x's are very standard afaik
bimpnottin
Not a british thing. A lot of people I know do it and I'm Belgian.
The4thKindOfPerson
Cool. Do Belgians sign birthday and xmas cards with x's too?
