Squirrely Thoughts

While walking in our neighborhood the other night, we came across a dead squirrel along the side of the road. We told the kids to avoid it as we approached. Both of them were somewhat distressed over the discovery.

Our three-year old son asked, “Did he kill himself?”

Trying not to laugh too hard, Hubby and I told our son it was likely an accident. Meanwhile visions are running through our minds of a distraught squirrel throwing himself in front of a car yelling, “Nuts! Nuts! Is that all there is??”

A little while later, our son sees two squirrels chasing each other and he asks, “Do you think they know their friend is dead?”

Folks, I can’t make this stuff up.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends. We have a soccer game, birthday party and Sunday school volunteer duties, among other craziness this weekend. But I plan to take it all in stride because our new mattress is being delivered this afternoon. Comfort is on its way – holla!

And, best of luck to my Kentucky Wildcats against Ohio State tonight - bring it, guys!
