I fear I may have induced the wrath of my mother.
See yesterday was yet another soaker so our trot was wet and short.
My energy levels remained high for the rest of the day due to inertia.
So at supper time when the rain stopped briefly I went out to the yard for some fun.
When I returned Ma was getting my food ready and out the corner of her eye she spotted that I had something in my mouth.
I made a dive under the kitchen table but she was on to me.
“Scooby” she said “What have you got come here this instant”
I remained silent.
She amplified.
Finally I gave in as I was hungry and emerged from under the table leaving my treasured catch behind.
OK it was pretty gross; a chipmunk that had met its maker several days earlier and looked as though it may have drowned.
Ma gave me a good scolding as she disposed of the critter and recanted my adventures to the Bro in his arrival.
She hasn’t kissed me since!
