Our old house needs constant TLC but fortunately my dad can do most of the work himself. One day he crawled under the foundations to prop up some sagging floorboards.

Suddenly we heard a muffled scream and Dad crawled out on hands and knees at a speed I hadn’t thought possible at his age.

“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.

“I reached out to pick up the crowbar,” Dad gasped, “and it slithered out of my hand.”
