Fun with taxidermy.

I took the kids to the mall today--they have a free kid's movie at this particular mall every week. Francie's favorite thing at the mall is the head of a longhorn placed high in a wall near the entrance. It's real, as in taxidermy. Why is there taxidermy in the mall, you ask? I don't know. It is Texas, I guess.

Anyway, she loves it. She points up and shouts LOOK! MOMMY! COOOOWWWW!!

Yes, Frances. Cow.

LOOK MOMMY! COW!

Yes, I see it, Frances. Cow.

COW!

Dude.

Then she becomes rather serious. Mommy?

Yes?

Cow...stuck. Cow stuck.

Ummm, yeah. I guess the cow is kind of stuck.

Cow stuck....in TREE!

Um. No. But okay.

Cow stuck in tree, she says with confidence and authority.

I guess that beats realizing the thing has actually been decapitated.
