Why do I get strange looks when in public?!?

My husband still claims me, so suck it all you haters!

So we went to the zoo.  No we didn't bring children, just us...two adults...that is not weird!  I love the zoo :)

Anyways, we were in the reptile exhibit and this happened:
So I said "Do y'all hear that?" *crickets* "No?  It's cool I speak Parseltongue. It's asking if we know 'Harry Potter'",  My husband laughed.  The girl across from me laughed...the others nearby rolled their eyes and gave me that "Oh my God what a freak" stare.  Geez, I was trying to be cute, get the stick out your butt!  The snakes are RARELY active so since this one was being all awake, I decided it was an appropriate time for a fandom reference. 

Later on in another exhibit this happened:
I leaned over to the husband and said "I know they specialize in exotic creatures but this seems excessively dangerous!"  Again, he laughed.  So I *snorted* and *whispered* "Don't Blink".  But the people next to me gave us one of those "is she special or something" stares.  Obviously they don't know about the lonely assassins.  That and there was like crickets or something in here...possibly a snake but it was out of sight. 

Also, after the zoo...well quite some time later I was home and singing in my yard while gardening when this lovely creature ventured out of its hiding spot, possibly proving that I do in fact speak Parseltongue
Me: "Ahhhh, what tha, *almost falls over in a fit of nervous giggles*"
Snake: *flicking tongue* 
Me:  "soooo are you poisonous, you don't look poisonous...cuz we can't be friends if you are"
Snake: "Can you let me out of the box, please?"
Me: "Hmmm, maybe we'll just release you in the woods"
Snake: *hisss* "Fine, just don't chop off my head like you did my brother"
Me: "Oooo yea sorry 'bout that"

Seeeeeeeeeee I totally speak snake, that conversation totally did NOT happen in my head.
