My Squirrel-y sister



My trip to Savannah with my sisters and my mom in July was a real eye opener for me. I guess I knew this about my eldest sibling, but was perhaps in denial. Now it had to be dealt with. Obsession with squirrels. Really? Oh yes. This amazingly intelligent woman speaks with them. And considers what they MUST be thinking. Also, I was a witness to her having a "squirrel conversation" with an escaped mental patient in the park in Savannah. I also had to stand by helplessly as she tried to get one to come down from a tree. Don't believe me???


News flash: They-don't-understand-you. Anyways, I felt INSPIRED to create this card for her, as I was SURE she would be impressed with nothing less than a SQUIRREL card. Unfortunately, I didn't have a squirrel stamp, so this skunk got painted brown and well, Laurie, with her master's degree in Squirrel Training, is about the only person who knows it's not accurate. I added on a little stamp saying "miss you"... because I do! Can't wait to see you next week... and until I get there, here's a website you might enjoy: http://www.squirrelworld.com/

I already knew about the web site. And by the way... you're just jealous they can't understand you!
AND, I was quite amused that the "mental patient" came to the same conclusion that I did. Maybe she isn't mental at all... hmmmmm.

Ok, you can understand them, but can they understand you? And, if you can understand them in "squirrel", shouldn't they be able to understand you when you talk regular and not your crazy version of "squirrel"?
