I enjoyed reading it. WELL DONE.

[walkertxkitty]

Thank you!

The sad thing is...those are actual conversations. I don't know how we get off on such disgusting topics, but we do --- the whole family.

[baxaphobia]

totally hilarious! hahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahah!

[walkertxkitty]

Thank you! I just hope you weren't drinking or eating when reading it. I made the mistake of showing it to Dorie before posting and she had tea in her mouth. At least she didn't spit it on me or the monitor.

Love this.

[walkertxkitty]

Thank you! Glad to have obliged with a laugh.

[noodledays]

these are great characters, esp Coyote of course. :)

[walkertxkitty]

Actual conversations, no kidding :D Our family is weird. The rest is a bit of implied imagination but I DO live closely with Coyote...just, alas, not closely enough to BE Coyote this time around.

Oh, Coyote! The "fart children" are priceless. As is the bit with the twine. I enjoyed very much.

My first encounter with Coyote was as a male in the middle of a New Mexico desert. We were driving the grasslands back to Colorado and around sunset, there He came. The husband, who is a conservative, did NOT enjoy riding one hundred plus miles with trickster Coyote riding shotgun. Me? It's His place out there and if he was going to visit, I didn't think I had the right to tell him to go.

She-Coyote is little better; I don't have full control of the totem so these, alas, are actual behaviors and conversations...in a human body. Dreadfully hard to explain.
