this big, pretty, full of acorns tree is in our neighbor's front yard. noah loves to take a bowl outside, fill it with acorns and pile them up on the porch so he can "feed the nice squirrels that i love mommy." very kind little guy, huh.
fall = leaves and acorns falling from said tree often and let me say, when they drop from the top, it stings a little.
here we are happily collecting snacks for the squirrels.
and then it happened. the altercation that is, with the acorn. this is noah in disbelief over the fact that "the tree threw an acorn on my head. the tree should 'netter', 'eda', 'eda', 'eda' do that again." there was even some yelling at the tree. {that's never, ever, ever, ever}
and here this little lover of nature is actually kicking the tree that "threw" the acorn at him. there was no reasoning to be had after this either. he is sure that the tree intentionally threw the acorn at him. ummmm, ok. maybe next year when we're 4 we can try again.
and we haven't collected anything for the squirrels since.

He's too stinkin' funny!
Totally made me smile!!
I love it...brad would be happy though that he is not supporting the squirrels. I hope they don't come to my neighborhood though!
Oh no, I hope he can somehow, find it in himself, to return to the tree-thrower-of-acorns, and collect more acorns for the squirrels he loves. :)
my acorn loving boys collected a bag when we were in Iowa this summer and came home to Montana with a bag of maggots....too bad we had to throw them away since thee no acorns in MT :(
That makes me laugh! I'm not sure how you could have kept your composure when he was kicking the tree!
