Acorns

I got asked this question by Raj recently - "Ever seen a squirrel when it finds an acorn?".

"It holds the precious acorn up in both paws. Gets it close to its snout. Then it smells and tastes the acorn, nibs at it as it holds it up in both paws close to its mouth". 

He didn't need to explain why we were suddenly talking about squirrels. I knew instantly when I turned to look at little Bobby boy. 

Here we have our very own squirrel, holding up both his fists in front of his mouth, like they were something very precious and not to be shared. He tastes and nibbles at these acorn hands of his. Luckily he's toothless so the acorns are safe. For now! :)
