This morning, while deep within a lovely sleep, I am violently awakened by this:"Damn, it's a skunk!"
*rapid WHOOOOOSH sound of window above our heads being slammed shut*
Groggy/Heart-attack victim J murmurs.: Um, Beau, it's going to get real hot in here real fast.
"But there's a skunk out there. It'll stink up the whole house."
Beau goes back to sleep.
-------------------------------
Is that like, a form of sleep-walking? Beau, must have subconsciously known of his utter dorkiness, for he got up early this morning and made cinnamon rolls. He somewhat remembers his little spaz attack, but claims it was probably an emission from ME that caused his psychotic outburst.
Boys are dumb.

I want everyone to know....J is a city girl who obviously has never had the dubious, pleasure?, of having one's abode reek with the offensive perfume let loose by a skunk. I should be commended for my quick thinking when aroused from a deep sleep. oh...and the cinnamon rolls were delicious. :)
Beau
Even city girls know what the smell of skunk is! We've smelled their road kill!
And there was no skunk!
Hmmm.....well then no more stir fry for you.;>
We used to periodically get skunks that would spray outside our house in Ann Arbor. Why they chose our house, I don't know, but it would take a very long time to clear the house of the smell if we didn't notice it during the night. I think you should be making Beau the cinnamon rolls as a reward instead of the other way around!
Yeah! Beau Rocks.
Okay "anonymous" (BEAU!), I recognize your "Beau Rocks" anywhere!
And yes, the cinnamon rolls were delicious.
When I was a kid my cousin Lisa somehow convinced my that the striped kitty in the way of my bicycle would move if I just drove towards it. It didn't, and I drove over its tail, and it wasn't a cat it was a skunk. I stunk so, so bad, it was awful.
However, a dead skunk on the road that you just drive by, or a skunk that releases its stink a little ways away from your house, well, I think that smells actually really good. I've heard before that its relatively common for women (and only women) to find the smell pleasant but I've never met another weirdo like me. Anyone, anyone?
Well, I've never found it really UNpleasant, but I can't say I've found it pleasant. Just "distinctive."
Supposedly there are no skunks (except in zoos and the like) in South Carolina. While I've never seen one, I know for sure I've smelled one. Strange.
Well, I saw armadillos in Missouri, (usually smooshed on the road with 10,000 other pieces of various roadkill) which REALLY surprised me, so maybe even the smallest and slowest of animals can...eventually....migrate.
I once saw a unicorn.
I think Cabol's breast pump is talking to her again...
I just wanted to add that I find the smell of skunk one of the most repulsive things on the Earth. Maybe *I* am the weird one.
