Squirrels

We've been having an awful lot of snow in St. Louis these past few weeks.

My cousin, Laura, and I were walking back to her house from the grocery store, when I saw this really cute squirrel sitting on Laura's porch.



By this point in time, you have probably surmised that I am pure evil when it comes to little defenseless animals.



So I threw a snowball at it.

Lucky for him, I am a terrible shot.

He was stunned for a minute or two, staring at me.

I acted all innocent -like...

...But I could tell he wasn't buying it.

I watched as he scampered down off the railing...

"You know what would be funny?" asked Laura, "If he came back and threw a snowball at YOU!"

And guess what, dear reader...

Squirrel heard that!

Moral of the story: Don't mess with squirrels.
