Rac-racoon

Dash found a fuzzy brown caterpillar. I decided to play the role of "good mom", and told him we could keep it in a jar. Sure enough, the little guy spun a cocoon. So now we check on it daily...rather hourly sometimes. He probably has some type of Shaken Caterpillar Syndrome from all of the jar shaking that occurs. But I digress...Stinkerbell was checking on it the other day.

Me: What are you doing?

Stinkerbell: I'm looking at the rac-racoon.

Me: You mean the cocoon?

Stinkerbell: (With a look of 'duh' on her face) No, I mean the rac-racoon.

Imagine her confusion when we read a book about a racoon at the library story time.
