Raccoon Seals!
Isaac ran in suddenly from riding his bike and announced that “it looks like black bear weather!†He asked if he still needed to put his bike away since black bears might come. When I told him he should, he wanted Charlotte to come with him to protect him. After coming in, he remembered that he had left the garage open and asked if he should close it real quick so black bears don’t come in, then he asked Charlotte to come with him to keep him safe again.
The next thing I know, he’s talking about “raccoon seals.†Here are a few quotes I pulled out of a long avalanche of words that he said in relation to “raccoon sealsâ€:
"a raccoon seal is a tiger that can go anywhere"
"raccoon seals can’t eat through windows but they can open doors that are not locked"
"these tigers are used to eating people up"
"it’s the weather for them right now"
"they’re all crowding up to the houses to try to get in"
"but they don’t want people to see that they’re there"
"do you know that they even have crazy striped wings that are colored orange and white"
*The picture has nothing to do with the story except that it is a recent picture of Isaac and I couldn’t exactly cut Ila out of the picture, so there she is.
