Rabbits

My sweet Maria. She is completely girly, a princess, and is grossed out by spiders. So this little episode really surprised me.

We were over at my parent's house and Maria was playing next door with her great little friends Alison, Lauren, J.J, Nicholas and Zach. They were playing and came across a few (gag) dead baby bunnies. Like.....very dead. And very baby. (Our cat Killer is going to hell, by the way, for killing all these animals).

I am on the deck and hear them, "There are 3 dead bunnies! Come quick!"

So of course I grab plastic gloves, a ziplock, and paper towels. I run over there to save them from being traumatized. I hand Alice off and shoo the kids away. Yep....3 dead bunnies. I try and grab them all in one swoop but quickly realize maybe grabbing them with my hands inside a plastic baggy was a terrible idea. I would grab it and just as I almost had a firm grip, it'd slip out of my hands. It was like a bad joke I was playing on the kids. "Almost got it...oops, there falls the dead bunny again..." Terrible.

But apparently they weren't scarred or traumatized by the event because after the 3rd bunny slipped, they all yelled, "Cool!! Don't throw it away, we wanna look at the guts and the skeleton." It took everything I had not to puke at them for not being completely disgusted...
