I Brake for Squirrels

Sunday mornings around here can be hectic.
Getting my two (and any of their friends spending the night) ready for Sunday School or church and then the drive there can be quite interesting.

One Sunday, unknown to me, Mr. Scott was driving behind me. Now Mr. Scott is a very nice man, seems patient and kind, and we have been guests in his home as well as we sit together often with his family at church.

This particular Sunday however, every kamikaze squirrel in Anne Arundel County jumped in front of my car. It was getting to the point of bizarre how many times this happened that morning. As always, I slowed down or had to use my brakes to avoid hitting one.

Once I arrived at church, our usually smiling, pleasant, friend Mr. Scott, seemed a little irritated. His wife Lisa, leaned over to mention that they drove behind me that morning. I had to explain that I am not a bad driver, but squirrels were going bezerk in front of my car today. I think he was really trying to tease me, but ever since, the common joke between his and our family is how I brake for every squirrel (add to that recently chipmunk and rabbits, too). 

So when Laura saw the funny papers this weekend, she was sure to share the following Zits Comic with me:

I will be sure to share this with Mr. Scott this Sunday. 🙂
