Something Stinks

Me: “Hey girls – look out there!  There’s a skunk in our yard!  I hope he doesn’t tangle with Tommy (our cat).”

Becky: “Yeah, I hope he doesn’t eat Tommy.”

Me: “No hon, skunks don’t eat cats.  He would just make Tommy stinky.”

Becky: “I hope he doesn’t poop on Tommy.” 

Me: “No, skunks don’t poop to make us stinky.  They spray stinky stuff on us.”

Becky: “I don’t want the skunk to spray poop on us.”

Me: “No honey, he doesn’t spray poop.  You know how your bath toys squirt water out?  Skunks squirt out water that stinks. 

Becky: “I don’t want skunks to take our bath toys.”

Me: Sigh.

    Hilarious, yet so understandable for Becky’s thought processes. I have been smiling to myself each time I think of your conversation. Thanks for sharing.

    Hope Tommy was smart enough to stay away from the skunk.

  • Hahahahaha. Made me laugh out loud! Glad you shared!
