Decades ago, it was the first summer after the arrival of our 3 adopted Korean girls; and we spent a weekend camping. The oldest (Lisa 12) and youngest (Becky 5) came running back from a walk, and in broken English told me (all excited!):
Lisa: "We see squirrel!"
Me "Oh - that's fun!"
Becky "We chase squirrel around tree - but no climb up?"
Me: thinking they had found a sick animal "I hope you didn't touch it?"
Lisa "No touch. But BEE YOO TEE FUL squirrel - black and white!!!"
Me: "OMG - THAT'S A SKUNK!!!!!!"
Thank goodness my girls had encountered a rather passive campground skunk and didn't get sprayed....LOL!!
