David and I were in our neighborhood the other day, returning home from the grocery store and we saw a woman and a kid walking. They were walking some tiny animal, so I was saying "and it's a little tiny PUPPY! No.... WAIT. WHAT is that?!" David said, "It's a FERRET!" I'm all eewwww. And he says, "Look. Someone's out walking their rat!" I love animals, but I think ferrets are wah-heird. Then that night when I was driving home from work, I smelled skunk and it brought to mind two things. One: I have a friend whose mom loves the smell of skunk. How is that smell lovable? And THEN I remembered that one of my mom's friends had a skunk when I was little. AS A PET. But he didn't stink. At least I don't think he did. And I think she used to keep him in the bathtub. So, yes ferrets are pretty weird, but there's always something weirder out there. Like say, a skunk.
