Skunky Vultures

There just always seems to be something in need of repair at our house so today we made our routine trip to Home Depot. While we were there, Nicholas kept running down the aisles. I told him the usual, "No running!". I heard him murmur something like, "Ok, then I'll just gallop." and he continued down the aisle with something just shy of a run. I guess now I have to clarify by saying, "No running and no galloping!"

On our way home from Home Depot, there was a dead skunk that must have recently been hit by a car. I never actually saw the skunk myself but there was no question what it was by the smell in the air.

Nicholas recalled another trip to Home Depot where he had seen a vulture eating some kind of road kill and he made a comment that a vulture might like to eat this skunk. Then he thought about it some more and said, "But you wouldn't want to get too close to that vulture. He might burp on you and that would really stink because he ate that skunk!"
