Little Creeper

This morning I was walking to the Taylor building to turn in my Book of Mormon portfolio. With a smile on my face because of the beautiful weather and peace in my soul because of almost being done with school I made my way across the street and by the engineering building, which is about 200 feet from the Taylor.

I glanced over and looked at something that caught my attention on the building. As I turned my head back toward the sidewalk to see where I was walking I saw out of the corner of my eye a little animal coming closer and closer to my feet. My first thought was "its just a friendly cat, because cats aren't too scared of humans." It definitely wasn't a cat, it was a stinking squirrel. I jumped back as this tiny little pest scared the living crap out of me. The peace that once was in my soul turned into fear.

Why was I so scared of a squirrel? The reason I think I was so scared once it clicked that it was a squirrel is because they usually run when a human gets close to them and squirrels can jump really high. The thought ran across my mind "would if it jumps up towards my face with those sharp claws." Another reason I was so scared is because I had tried so many times at scout camp as a young boy to catch one and never came close. The dang things are pesky and quick. Lesson of the day: Watch out for squirrels, they love to pull pranks and scare people.
