Skunked!!

We finally got around to washing and cleaning out our car yesterday...we hadn't done it all winter, gross, I know. It needed it bad! We were so excited that it was all clean and we were on our way home when we nearly ran over one of these beauties:

D slammed on the breaks, and the skunk ended up under our car--no worries, we didn't hit it, but he sure hit us!! Now our lovely, clean, car smells like SKUNK!! Luckily you only smell it for about the first 30 seconds you get in, then you get used to the smell and it seems to go away. I was just glad D didn't kill the poor little skunk, he was just innocently trying to cross the road we happened to be driving on. Skunks are D's favorite animals...no joke. He did his 4th grade animal report on skunks to find out more about them. He doesn't particularly mind the smell of skunks unless it's on his stuff. D was a little upset about the skunk smell in our car, but I couldn't stop laughing hysterically. I thought it was quite ironic that we wait almost 9 months to clean our car, and on the day we finally get it done we get skunked. Hilarious! On top of that, I think that's the first time I've ever seen a live skunk, and I'm glad he lived to see another day. Thank you, Skunk, for giving us something to laugh about and remember!
