Wrestling Alligators

How many of us can say that we have wrestled an alligator?  I don't know about you, but I can. I know, you are thinking this is in humane, but hang with me. 

Wrestling an alligator can be very tricky, but you have to be able to outwit this creature.  First you look them in their big eyes, and you say to yourself I can do this in no time, I know I can. Then you say a little prayer and you jump right in.  Often times, you grab their little legs first. They are feisty creatures...kicking and squirming. Then the dreaded death roll. Be ready for this one because if you aren't prepared, they will take you with them. You feel the sweat beads trickling down  your face at this point and you bite your bottom lip to prevent from yelling any kind of profanity...whether from your aggravation or any injuries that you may have sustained during the roll. You grab the creature by it's bottom half and try to flip it over to make sure it's heading in the right direction.  Then once you have gotten control of the creature again, it may try to do the death roll. Be strong and you will perservere my friend...once you have the creature rigtht where you want him, then you grab the diaper really fast and fasten it as quick as you can. That my friend is how you change the diaper of a 7 month old.
