Table Talk 2

Yesterday at lunch Eric said, "I've been thinking about something lately." Do go on. "Scientists are doing so much with genetic engineering these days. I think some scientists need to take on a project to make a little bear that is to a regular bear as a house cat is to a wild cat such as tigers, cougars, and so on. Imagine how great it would be to have pet house bear about the size of a cat or small dog! It would be so cute! Just like a living teddy bear!" Perhaps he will have to spend a million years in college and take on the project someday. We used to hope he'd find a cure for cancer....

As we discussed this matter, I reminded him about the list he made in sixth grade of necessities for his college dorm room which included a couple of pet raccoons, specifically a kodimundi. (Also on this list were "All flavors of Wheat Thins!) He assured me he still intends to have pet raccoons someday.
