You may remember a few weeks ago, my seven-year-old son was howling on our front porch. The reason? To attract a Yeti. Now he's trying to trap one.
Only, he didn't trap a Yeti. He trapped my daughter. She came into the house completely covered in mud.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I fell into a Bigfoot trap."
"Huh?"
"Bubba and his buddy made a slippery mud slope on the bank of the creek. Any Bigfoot that comes too close is doomed."
I looked at her muddy clothes. "Yeah. I see that. I know you have a size 9 shoe, but I don't think you're Bigfoot. So stay away from that thing."
She nodded and went off to clean herself up.
I'll keep you updated as to whether or not this trap works for any real resident Bigfoots.
It doesn't sound like she was a bit bothered :-)
ReplyDeleteNo, surprisingly she wasn't.
DeleteHahaha reminds me of my brother and myself when we were little!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember it was great fun playing in the woods. But I never set any Bigfoot traps.
DeleteYour kids are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNever a dull moment!
Deletehahaha at least she proved the trap can work
ReplyDeleteMust have been some good engineering!
DeleteFrom the Introduction of Neil Gaiman's short story collection Fragile Things:
ReplyDelete"And on the subject of naming animals, can I just say how happy I was to discover that the word yeti, literally translated, apparently means "that thing over there." ("Quick, brave Himalayan Guide - what's that thing over there?"
"Yeti."
"I see.")
That's funny!
