LOL. We call that 'following in front.'



Perfect name for it!

This reminds me of a funny memory from high school. My high school
biology teacher told us about the time when his twin sons were babies,
and caught diarrhea. He described how difficult it was to get the cloth
diapers clean and dry in time before they were needed again (and, no, I
don't remember what train of thought led to this discussion).
Unfortunately, his twins were among the students in the class as he was
telling the story. They slid down in their seats with the most dismayed
expression I have ever seen on anyone's face. "Dad, no, you can't tell
THAT story to my friends...". If I remember correctly, we were all 15
years old at the time.

Oh, that is *mean*!! I can't think of a worse age at which to have this
done to you. It's bad enough when your parents tell embarrassing baby
stories about you to one or two of your friends when you're a teenager,
but to have your parent be the teacher, telling an entire classroom, in
front of me?? At least there were two of them, to give each other moral
support.

My sister who works at the zoo is currently taking care of four baby
squirrels that had been abandoned by their mum (she mostly works with
wildlife rehabilitation). I visited her today at one of their feeding
sessions. She has to feed them every three hours, but fortunately, she
doesn't have to wake up in the night to feed them any more. It's her
day
off, but she has the squirrels at home. Her cat Ronja is very
interested
in the babies, but she thinks they smell awful (so did I :P).

Here's a video of my sister cleaning one of them and trying to
encourage
it too pee:

College campus squirrels are the worst. They're bold from having been
fed by students, and they'll practically take your lunch away from
you.

There is a place on the California coast just north of Pebble Beach where
squirrels live in the rocks between the road and the ocean. Its always
been a favorite spot to take our kids and grandkids. I remember many
forays into the stores to find plain peanuts in the shell just for them.
Not saying they get bold, but we have not only had them all over us, we've
had a couple we had to shoo out of the car when we wanted to leave.
