Once upon a time, my daughter’s friend ran over a racoon...she called us on her cell and was all upset. We told her to drive on over the racoon, car goes thump and proceed to your destination. She was literally in tears about hitting this animal. So as a joke, I found an adorable stuffed baby racoon, put it in a shoe box, punched holes in the top.....took this to her house and placed in on the front porch steps. I put a rock on top, as if whatever was inside could get out and left a note. She called me up shrieking.......never put my name on the note, but she knew.

That joke would not play well today.

BTW, she had quite a collection of stuffed racoons when we were all done with this, she took them off to her college dorm room when she went away to school. She just moved into her first home she purchased herself.......the housewarming party was last night...I searched far and wide for a garden statue of a racoon...I am still looking. If anyone knows where I could find one let me know. LOL

Your wish is my command.

Cheers! Cheers!

On a day filled with pain and emotional lows, you made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

Back when I was in high school, several of us went to a BBQ and the first of the three cars hit an armadillo on the way home. The second car (which I was in) stopped and picked it up. We met at the HS parking lot and carpooled to the event.

We decided to toss the “dead’ armadillo into a school bus. Never even looked which one it was, but the aradillo had just been stuned. It had crawled behind the tool box which was under the last seat for a nap. There was a chubby gal who thought that seat belonged to her.

As we were getting close to the HS, we had a rough railroad track to cross. As the bus was crossing the tracks, the armadillo must have had enough. It came out right between her legs and started running up the isle. She let out a blood curdling yell and pe’ed herself. Not ONE of us ever said a word for years.
