Once Upon A Time

There were 4 beautiful maidens that lived in Fairlington Forrest, a small peaceful place where Sleeping Beauty would be jealous. Fairlington Forrest was full of animals like red foxes, opossums, blue jays, and lot and lots of domesticated canines. One of these maidens was raised by a lovely queen that hated animals and would not allow her offspring to have pets that couldn't be contained in a small shoebox. Thus the maiden's hatred for living creatures was born. Back in the Fairlington Forrest, one of its furry inhabitants began to multiply and replenish the earth in such large numbers, that they began to become a nuisance to the charming women. These annoying animals, let's call them Evil Squirrels (ES), would dig up flower beds, steal planted produce, and hide in car exhaust pipes. An example of such a creature is found below. The ESs come in all shapes and sizes and all varieties claim the Farlington Forrest as their home.





There was no escaping the creatures. They even found themselves onto the clothes of the ladies.



Like most inhabitants of the Fairlington Forrest, when the leaves begin to change and the weather turns colder, the chicas calientes buy pumpkins in order to decorate the porch of their abode. However, the ESs often mistake the festive decorations as a holiday fest and alas their annoyance continues.






In order to protect themselves, their neighborhood, and their precious pumpkins from these evil beasts, the delicate females took shooting lessons with very appropriate targets.





As you can see, they aren't bad shots.






But since this maiden hates guns almost as much as she hates ESs, the Fairlington inhabitants were forced to rely on other means of "handling" this problem.



One down. One million more to go.



And thus the four maidens lived...Happy Ever After.

Hilarious! Thank you for the post. I wouldn't have believed this plague of vermin that torture your otherwise serene existence had I not witnessed this scourge first hand. We are all waiting for the rest of this fairy tale to be written--when those beautiful maidens of Fairlington Forest are rescued by four handsome princes... Great post. thx

Chels, your bravery is inspiring. Taking on the ES's is one daunting task, but I'm sure you and the maidens can handle it.
