Breaking News at Seven

Quite recently there has been a ghastly occurrence at the Holmes household. Early this morning, a rather unfortunate squirrel found his death in the pool. Preserved by the water, at approximately 40 degrees, the squirrel remained in the same position all morning. Towards mid morning, my father was compelled to put the squirrel out of its misery and change the scenery a little bit. So, the squirrel was removed from the pool and placed on our concrete wall. Why it was not disposed of, I do not know. But the incredibly shocking part of the incident is what we discovered later this evening. A mob of, shall we say, very small people had surrounded the squirrel and inflicted on it several wounds. Whether the squirrel had been a common enemy, or an unkind neighbor we do not know. We are still looking for a motive. All small persons were carrying knives except for one, who held a very small pistol.The youngest girl was the culprit with the pistol. Very disturbing, seeing children so young carrying guns...


That's all the news we have tonight folks...until the next big story, I'm Katherine, reporting live from the Holmes house.

All I have to say is "good riddance" and to all the other squirrels still in our backyard, "BEWARE!!!"

And, some part of me thinks I have a very disturbed child. Still funny though.

That is SO funny! Did you clean those Polly Pockets before you removed them from the squirrel? And, your family should be happy...I was near your street yesterday and a squirrel hit my car. So, one less to worry about.

Way to go, Paige. Two down, one hundred to go!

I don't know whether to laugh or be disturbed at Katherine playing with a dead animal...
