Please curb your rabbit

On Saturday, Reesa found a small, round, desiccated tan item in one of our perennial beds.

"What's that, daddy?"

"Hmm. It's old rabbit poop."

Reesa didn't think that rabbits should be pooping in our garden. So she took her chalk and wrote a message on the driveway closest to the garden bed. It had a simple drawing of rabbit scat, overlaid with a circle and a line through the circle. That would be the universal "NO!" sign. Then she added a line of scribbles with a few letters and pseudo-letters mixed in. I asked her what it all meant.

"Well, that's Frrrrench wrriting." She trills her some of her R's. "When da rabbits come here in the night wif their flashlights, they can see it. It says, 'No rabbits poop in the garden wif da yellow flowers.' "

"Oh. Where will they go poop then?" I asked.

"In the forest." Duh! Don't you know these things, daddy?
