I pretty much wouldn't have blog content these days without my father's help. He sent me this video. I guffawed. The music kind of makes it.
My father's battles against the squirrels in his backyard in Mississippi are epic. He loves watching birds from his back patio and apparently his experience is being ruined by squirrels. RUINED! I have to hear an anti-squirrel fervor-esque rant every time I talk to him. So once a day.
I made my dad swear not to let Jake shoot at the squirrels with the rubber pellet gun he uses when we visit over the summer, but I have to leave the house sometime and I'm sure it's gonna happen. Maybe I can convince him it would be a better bonding experience with Jake and slightly less likely to turn my son into a serial killer if he made this catapult.
I don't know why people are so angry with the squirrels, but anti-squirrel products make up a gazillion dollar a year industry. If you don't want to spend any money, however, you can make your own squirrel relocation device.
Note: I'm pretty sure squirrels were harmed in the making of this video and I am anti-that. But, I am pro-guffaw.
