Happy Raccoonsgiving, Charlie Brown!


It was so nice of the schools to give the kids the day off yesterday to celebrate Raccoon Week. What did the kids and I do with our time? Glad you asked!

1. We had a moment of silence to honor all the raccoons who died when The Master took over the earth and…wait. I'm confusing "Doctor Who" and reality again, aren't I?

2. We bought nifty new light-up sneakers, so we can jump up and down in the yard and provide reading light for the raccoons at night.

3. We had a moment of silence to honor all the raccoons who died when the Hellmouth opened up and demons spewed forth to….wait. I'm confusing "Buffy" and reality again, aren't I?

4. We ate lunch at McDonald's because they have awesome dumpsters to rummage through.

5. We had a moment of silence to honor all the raccoons who died when the Secret Society of Super Villains teleported over from Earth 2 and used a freeze ray to…wait. I'm confusing comic books and reality again, aren't I?

6. We made turkey shaped gingerbread cookies, so the vegetarian raccoons could celebrate Thanksgiving later this month.

7. Nothing for #7, because raccoons consider the #7 to be sacred and don't like it being disturbed. Shhhhhh.

8. Jak-El did a shadow puppet show of the Raccoon History of the Universe, highlighting the years 1956 to 1972, which historians recognize as a golden era.

9. We had a moment of silence to honor all the raccoons who died in the Great Garbage Can Siege of 1922. (This has gotta be right.)

10. I had wine with dinner and toasted the raccoons. And the fact we had pizza, so I didn't have to cook.

AWESOME raccooning, Miss Lane! I was briefly alarmed by the following phrase: "I had wine with dinner and toasted the raccoons..." but swiftly realized you were raising a festive glass and not oven-crisping said adorably scampy little bandits.

(I want light-up sneakers AND I suddenly am in the mood for a Buffy marathon.)

I want light-up sneakers, too! Only they wouldn't necessarily be all that sneaky, would they? I mean...if they light up and all?

I had a moment of silence yesterday to celebrate all the raccoons that died when the Death Star...what? Oh now I'm doing it too! Damn reality!

The raccons that died during the filming of "When Raccoons Attack".

My wee ones and myself dinned at the finnest garbage cans in town.
