You know, the kind that somehow had to get across the road while some insensitive schmuck was driving just a little too fast and well, squish! - flattened opossum.
This morning, though, I met a big critter out for a morning stroll along the fence around my parents' backyard. He was ever so friendly. We played opossum: he froze when he saw me, and then "smiled" for my camera. I didn't particularly like the sinister "CHHHHiiiiZ" he said loudly while displaying those pronounced
When he'd had enough posing, he resumed his stroll, albeit a bit faster than when we first said hello. I suspect he isn't fond of children, because Ya came a little too close and opossum "CHHHHiiiiZ"d one more time louder than before and moseyed right along toward the neighbor's yard.
It was quite a polite meeting and I had to wonder why so many folk get spooked when opossums come over to dine in the trash cans.
