I’m a Nut

October 9, 2006 · Print This Article

This morning as I was out taking a walk, just minding my own bidness, I passed under a large oak tree. Suddenly, two acorns came flying out from the overhanging branches a little to my left, and nailed me right smack in the head. Thunk! Thunk! I was all, “Ow! What the…? ” and then I heard it. Rustling. I squinted up through the thick clumps of leaves just in time to spot a flash of brown streak by. I swear I heard some soft chattering as it passed, like it was laughing at me as I stood there dumbly rubbing my head, staring in disbelief at the suddenly still branches.

Honestly. I can’t believe a squirrel threw his acorns at me.

This clearly cannot bode well for my day.

    “…and then I ran back home screaming ‘The sky is falling! The sky is falling!’”

    Hee.

    Hope your Monday improves, Cat. Love and hugs to you.

    Oh why oh why did you not say “the squirrel threw his nuts at you”?

    Hee! I actually thought of writing that, and giggled like crazy, too, before I finally thought, “Nah. Too easy.”

    But you got it anyway, you see?

    Okay. I’m a nut.

    Maybe it was chip and dale….they were always an ornery little pair.

    I hope that squirel can live without his nuts!

    Too funny. At least the nuts he threw at you were still on the pleasant end of his alimentary canal.

Got something to say?
