his name is Charlie (:

does anyone have an idea what animal this is from?

I am a law abiding citizen. I would never trespass because it’s pretty. What are you talking about?

So I was camping with my family. I had a cot a little above my Dad’s in the camper, and on the other side was my Mom and brother. In the middle of the night my Dad lets out the girliest scream I’ve heard in my life. He jumps up, and throws himself to the other side of the camper screaming that there was a creature in his bed. No one is amused. It’s two AM. My Mom, being the sensible woman she is, asks what type of creature it is. Apparently a quote ‘furry monster’ had ran across his leg. I’m still in my cot, and he tells me to shake out the blankets. So I do, begrudgingly, as I don’t think there’s really anything there. Why don’t I believe him, you ask? Because I’m a deep sleeper. I don’t wake up to screaming, no matter how high pitch. What I did wake up to? A sharp tug on my hair. My long hair. My long hair that can reach his cot. He pulled my hair, thinking it was a monster in his bed. Even after we sorted it out he turns to my brother and asks to sleep with him. My father. Because he’s scared of my hair. I was called ‘the creature’ the rest of the trip.

Boys, I’ve done it. After many trials, and even more errors I have PERFECTED the speed:safety ratio for sliding a mattress down a set of stairs onto tile floors. The ideal mattress is a somewhat thin, floppy thing usually found in pull outs. Bring this to the top of the stairs and lay down, fold a bit of the bottom (facing down) up and hook your feet under and over to hold it in place. Curl the sides in like a taco shell. This guarantees speed and cushioning! (I will admit the cushioning was found accidentally) your form matters a lot to! If you tense your bum it’ll be a mini speed bump and low you down, stay loose but not to floppy, to avoid breaking your neck hold it up slightly, not to an extreme extent, just so it’s not resting on the stairs. Behold. The perfected formula.
