At some point, Jen and I started talking about how I will eventually take Jackson camping and she will not attend. Partly because camping is a very father-son bonding thing, but mostly because she's really girly and doesn't like dirt. Then this happened:
Jen: Well, if you go, you need to watch out for the Oklahoma Grizzly Beast.
Jason: The Oklahoma Grizzly Beast?
Jen: Yep. It looks like a bobcat... but it has the face of a lion.
Jason: Really?
Jen: Yeah, and there's longer fur down the middle of it's back.
Jason: Like a mohawk?
Jen: Yes. And... (motioning to her mouth ala the Holy Grail Bunny scene) It has those big teeth.
Jason: Saber-teeth?
Jen: Yeah.
Jason: Oooo... Kay. Does it have stripes or cheetah spots or...
Jen: NO! It has cow spots! (Jason spits out his beer swig)
Jason: Well, does it have cat eyes or those black cow eyes that look like they have no soul?
Jen: No, listen. That's the thing. That's how they get you! It has big blue human eyes and these long eyelashes! So when you see one, it looks at you like a puppy and you go 'awww..' and when you go to pet it, it GETS you! Rawr!
Jason: Well you be sure to tell Jack about that before we leave. So I gotta deal with nightmares.
Here is what popped into my head:
Careful out there, kiddies!

Man, it DOES look all sweet and innocent with those eyes. Eyes that want to KILL YOU!
