Our former nanny discovered a squirrel that had basically mummified and wanted to know if we wanted to study it, hmmm, NO NOT REALLY, but then I remembered our MOPS theme for the year, to “plunge” into your life (lots more to it but that is the premise), so I thought, why not.  Deb dropped it off, it was not attractive!  I couldn’t bring myself to pull it out of the bag, just kept thinking about disease and germs!  But we studied it, made observations about it, talked about it’s skeletal features, etc – – and then threw it away 🙂
