Dead Rat!

Luke brought us a dead rat in an old plastic container last night and Cordell wanted to know how it got in there. Sylvia told us she and Ethan found it. "We put it out for the vultures," she exclaimed.
"You didn't touch it did you?" I questioned them.
Ethan said, "We were just petting it."
"You should never touch dead animals, they could make you sick!"
"It wasn't dead. It was just sleeping," said Ethan very matter-of-factly.
Oh there is never a dull moment at this house!

I guess this is why I always have the kids wash their hands when they come in from playing outside...

Oh no Sarah. At least they were trying to take care of it. That is scary though. Especially it being a rat.
