One afternoon, Smush came home with a newborn baby squirrel tucked into his lunch pail.
"I hope you don't expect me to eat that for dinner," Mogey said warily. "I had squirrel for lunch today."
"He's not for dinner!" Smush said, reflexively hugging the lunch pail closer to his chest. "I thought he'd make a nice pet."
"That wouldn't be so bad, I suppose. What are you going to name him?"
"I was thinking 'Samuel.' He looks like a Samuel, doesn't he?"
"Samuel?" Mogey asked incredulously. "Do you know what that name means?"
"No, what does it mean?"
"It means," Mogey replied, lowering his voice so Samuel wouldn't hear, "little stinky skunk man."
"That is not accurate," Smush said.
"Alright, alright, I admit it," Mogey answered. "It actually mean big stinky skunk man."
