Little girl terrified by crawfish is now scarred for life

Seafood isn't for everyone.

Seafood isn't for everyone.

But when faced with what appears to be a half-eaten crawfish on her plate, Emanuel Montoya's little sister was scared for life.

She was minding her own business, eating a biscuit, having fun, when she noticed the crawfish's beady eyes staring at her, causing her to scream and jump away in case her assailant came any closer.

Listen, if I suddenly noticed a half eaten crawfish pointed at me with it's claws out I probably would've done the same thing.

But there's more to the story than just that. Her brother put it on her plate without her knowing.

Way to go, big brother. Now she won't ever be able to experience the joy of a low country boil at a neighborhood block party in Tennessee, one of the pillars of America.

The internet was then instantly reminded of this Easter Bunny classic:

As sad as it can be to see children truly terrified of something banal, it's also amazing.

That being said, I hope this girl has since recovered. On the bright side, maybe she'll consider vegetarianism?
