The new game in our household is called TICKLE THE STINKY SKUNK. First, you must catch a skunk:
They aren’t hard to catch.
When you have your skunk, you may tickle him, provided you cry “TICKLE THE STINKY SKUNK!” as you do so.
And that’s it, that’s the game. The rules are simple, and all the players win.

Oh nom! nom! nom! Can I eat your baby???

Sure! He loves to be nibbled on!

Oh crap. I just realized that if someone actually ever bites your baby then I will be the PRIME suspect!
So for the record: I do not actually want to eat your baby. I just think he’s cute in his skunk costume.

Ha! You now have an ironclad alibi.

Also everyone on the interwebs win too, because skunk has the INFINITE CUTENESS!
