Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

OMG!

When Zoe goes to school, her popularity will stink.

Here kitty, kitty!

by golly! I will build a colossal altar to anyone who invents parental vacation….

Likely too late for the comic, but for everyone skunk de-scenter: 1 quart hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and 1-2 tsp any liquid soap. Having had to bathe a couple of my dogs with this, exact measurements are not important. Adding water is fine. It won’t hurt your clothes, the washing machine, the dog, the cat, you….

Why would you bring a wild animal into the house? And in the middle of the night of all nights?! Do these kids like have the ability to switch off the part of their brain that has their common sense?!

Now this is funny!… and about to get funnier!?

About “grounded for life”…in the words of Warren “Potsie” Webber, it’ll probably blow over by the time you’re thirty.

Zoe’s still looking to get a pet of some sort and this one ‘backfired’ on her.

Zoe – “Well it looked all black in the dark!”

I don’t think it’s lethal, but your punishment might be.

Hammie you brought in a skunk what are you thinking?

Now days, when you smell that smell 9 times out of 10 it’s marijuana. Way strong than the 70s and stinkier also.

“Leave the squirrel alone and get the fire extinguisher!”

on 2 occasions i have had a wild skunk walk up and let me pet her – one was a mom with 3 kits, petted them all and hugged them all

You’ll get used to it.

Too late Wanda, not today and tomorrow isn’t looking any better.

I occasionally repeat the story of the grandmother of a little girl who, when the family was moving into a new house in the country, found a cute, black and white, kitty. Apparently Mom panicked, grabbed the animal and tried to throw it out the door, with no success. The skunk responded as expected … all over the Concert pianist’s (Mom) practice instrument.

And the living room, and the Monet (copy), and Mom.

Spicy squirrel!

If Zoe wasn’t involved she’d be tattling faster than you can say p-u!

I set off a fart bomb in my room once. Bought it at a joke store. It smelled wayyyyy worse than we thought it would be. Frantically sprayed air fresheners, lit matches, opened windows, turned on fans, but the smell prevailed. My parents found out (as they do) and my dad said I had to throw the rest away. Thankfully my Mom intervened and saved the bombs, sending them to the shed instead. But I snuck them into the garage incase I ever needed them.

In hindsight the sudden fans, open windows and room spray might’ve been a mistake, alerting my parents something was up.

ALL kids have that ability. It lasts until around the time they start having to pay for their own gas and insurance.

Growing up we had a skunk come into our front yard, thought for sure it was a cat, so we tried to pet it. And he gave us a new perfume. The worst thing is, it was right under our bedroom window in the summer. They should spray that on the evil doers.

Could be worse. I’m told that “grass” smells a lot like skunk. I led/lead a very sheltered life, so never really knew what it was when I kept smelling “skunk”!

Rabies shots for everyone!

He thought it looked cold and hungry, so he brought it in.
