The Squirrel

The other day between classes, I sat on a bench eating a Kind bar and I noticed a squirrel. Not caring if I seemed silly I said to the squirrel, "Hello sweet squirrel, you are so cute! Are you hungry?" The squirrel peered my way as if to say, "What do you think? I'm always hungry. In fact, right this second, I'm 'hangry'!!" I gave a piece of my Kind bar to the flippant squirrel and watched her chompchomp it away til there was no more. I offered another morsel and watched her chompchomp. In that moment, I felt happy and amused. I gave her the remainder of my bar, swatted my hands clean, and headed to class--entirely satisfied.
