Last week we spotted this little guy (or girl) in our backyard. We quickly figured out he was a possum. He sat motionless by the fence for a long time, and Mira kept asking if he was dead. The dogs were, strangely, completely ignoring him. It didn't occur to me until the next morning that he was actually playing possum!
When I went in to tell the kids, Ryan asked what that meant. Mira said "oh, that means he's playing dead because he's paralyzed with fear." It's funny how they're together nearly 24 hours a day, but they both know completely different things.
