Uh, yeah...that's what I meant!
Well, welcome to the dark side all!!
M.Night, your FAVE living dead girl here and I wanted to share this piece of the dark side with y’all on this fine autumn day.
Now, I’m not usually what you would consider a cruel person (at least I don’t start out that way, the intent is always good...)
So,
I gathered a bag of walnuts from my mothers’ front yard and brought them home to entice the squirrels.
I set them along the top of my fence and stayed to watch the fun.
38 walnuts, three squirrels, no contest.
The nuts won.
The squirrels began to fight over the choicest morsels (not sure how they can tell).
As I gazed, spellbound, over this spectacle of avarice and gluttony, I had to laugh.
Each squirrel could barely hold one nut and yet, they were all viciously clamoring for possession of all.
As one after another slippery green husk fell from their grasp onto the damp clover growing on the ‘dog side’ of my fence, I was reminded of how many people have come to view life as a contest and of how that was being represented and satirized in my own back yard.
So, a life lesson in the making...?
If you don’t hold onto the nuts you have instead of worrying about how many nuts someone else might have, the dog will eat them all...
Or, errrrrhhh…SOMETHING like that...
C’est la vie!!!
M.Night………………………………..out!
