Life is short and funny. If you don't think so, check out my friend Robin's blog. Robin cracks me up. Always has. In case you don't feel like going all the way to Robin's blog for a good chuckle, read my short and funny story, but I warn you, if you are from PETA just click off my blog, right now.
Me. Driving. 3 compassionate children locked and loaded. Stupid gray squirrel runs back and forth and back and forth....to the curb, to the middle of the road, to the curb, to the middle of the road. "It's baiting me!" I exclaim. "It WANTS to be run over!"
"NO!" my daughter yells.
"That's mean mom!" my eldest son says, "It's one of God's creatures!"
Budump! Dead Squirrel. "Yay!" I say, "One less stupid squirrel in the world."
Middle son deadpans, "Is that what Jesus would do, Mom?"
Ouch.

First let me say that it is the BLACK squirrels who are RELLY stupid!!! There are many Jocelyn animal stories....like the time she found a baby frog...oops...actually a little featherless bird that had been pushed from the nest. No Mom in sight. BEGGED me to take it home...which I am sure Jesus would, so I did. Then I drove all over Morgan Hill to take the baby to a wildlife refuge to be saved. THEN...there was the time that Joss found a baby mouse...oops again......it was really a BAT in our dry kiddie pool. Thought it was dead...ooops again...still alive. Proceed to call the WHOLE state of CO to find out how to help it. Climax of the story includes husband declaring we should put it out of its misery just before it took off over our heads and WAY up in the sky! Then there were David and Abigail, the two GIANT crawdads that Joss caught while fishing and HAD to bring home to show our co-op (You know you are a KONOS mom when....) etc., etc., etc. I will also tell you all about the "Fox Incident" with Jocelyn when we see you in FOUR DAYS!!!!!!
I love this story!
I'm terrible at remembering to visit blogs lately.
But - for a laugh...I'm much more easily inclined. ;)
I have a funny "squirrel" story of my own. A few years ago, while waiting for Joseph to finish with piano lessons, Danielle and I took a stroll around the townhouse complex where their piano teacher lives. It is a park-like setting with big grassy areas, lots of tall trees, and...lots of squirrels. Danielle decided she would chase a couple of squirrels and watch them scurry up a tree. If the squirrels came back down, she'd do it again. I found it to be amusing and, jokingly, I told her that if she didn't stop chasing them away, the squirrels might just start chasing after her, and that she needed to be careful because squirrels have been known to bite. (Seems mean-spirited, I know, but I actually read an article in the newspaper about a child that was "attacked" and bitten by a squirrel). And wouldn't you know it? One of the squirrels actually started following us (or so it seemed). If we walked away, it followed us. If we turned the corner to go around the building, there it was again! This went on for a good 5-10 minutes, not long, but enough to scare Danielle into thinking that this little squirrel was out to get her. At this point, I was really amused! We would break out in nervous fits of laughter everytime we noticed that darn squirrel following us. For the next few weeks, Danielle always made sure no squirrels were around before going up to her piano teacher's house. I'm happy to report that, today, Danielle is completely over her fear of squirrels. :-)
All I can say is that your stupid squirrel has now joined the not-so-smart and greedy woodpecker I ran over last week.
Lord forgive my squealing in a good chuckle!!!
Conclusion of a memorable Chemistry experiment: Drano+water= bad news.
(I know, not animal related, but funny)
We were supposed to mix lye (like Drano) and water to observe the difference in temperature. Well, they didn't mention that when you mix lye and water, it produces a toxic fume.Chemistry student noticed the problem with the gases first. As soon as we started the experiment, he started to itch, so he dashed outside. Within a minute, I started to feel like I couldn't breath. I started coughing, but I couldn't get a decent breath. I tried pulling up my shirt over my mouth, but it didn't work. I ran outside.Within two minutes, the history class started coughing. My mom thought it was kind of weird how they all started coughing at the same time (they couldn't smell it) but when she started coughing too, she realized our grievous error.
I have never cleared a house before then!
Lesson learned: Always, ALWAYS air on the side of caution.
Love you, Auntie, even if you are a squirrel-killer,
Catey
