My great granddad took me out into the back yard holding my hand when I was a toddler, had a raw chicken in his other. Yelled 'Hey, Bubba!' and a gator lumbered out of the swamp. He tossed him the chicken and he snapped it right up. As a kid, it was the coolest thing ever.
Same trip I fell out of the shrimp boat into the gator infested water. He scooped me back up and my mom said I was just giggling the whole time. I still remember the rows and rows of orange trees on the way to their house.
