Pet Cemetery

This is Brian again. I know many of you are hoping for some more crude humor, but todays tale involves Rachel so it will be a clean story. During a recent trip I was making conversation with the children while we were driving. These conversations usually entail me making outlandish statements and the children aking their mother if I am telling the truth. On this particlar occasion we were talking about pets. With my enormous love for all things furry, you can probably guess how exicited I was to talk about animals. I suggested several animals that I thought would be appropriate as house guests, turtles, alligators, a kimodo dragon, all the usual things kids love. I finally suggested that we get a raccoon. Rachel then said to me, "Dad, raccoons are nocturnal, we would never see it." Touché, my wise daughter I thought to myself. I then asked her how she came upon this nugget of wisdom. "I saw it on Curious George.", she replied.

From now on, I will be more than happy to let PBS raise my children. I hope that when Rachel turns sixteen she will remember the "Curious George Gets a Job" episode. Thanks in advance for your help George .
