Unwanted house guest

Tonight we had a very UNWANTED house guest. Boris brought home a "friend" for us to meet. When I met oPerry the opossom, I started freaking out. It was looking at me with his beady little eyes, and headed right for me. I jumped up on our bed and watched him run by into our bathroom. David came and tried to close me in the room with him, so he didn't get out. I screamed even louder -the thing was so creepy. It had sharp looking teeth and a tail just as long (if not longer) than it's body. Nathan wanted to see the "little bear", but I kept him away. After David came to the rescue and had oPerry trapped inside the bowl, Nathan wanted to see it. David showed it to him and he decided he wanted to keep him. We told him that he had to go back outside so he could find his mommy and daddy who were looking for him. That made Nathan very sad, when David took oPerry outside Nathan cried. He kept saying "me hold it", "me have it". There is no way we were going to have that thing as a pet. All I kept thinking about was the movie Ricky Ticky Tavi.



Yuck!
