See if you can see it, Mom.
I looked at the close-up photo of their dense bush. It looked like a near relative of my California Coffeeberry. Uh, I see leaves, lots of leaves. Um… Nada.
He insisted it was there.
Huh. I looked some more, wondering how I could be missing such a thing. Okay–wait, there, I see the edge of a paw? Maybe?
Yes, and… He gave up and pointed it out: see the jaw?
No.
There.
OH! Is that the teeth?!
This (he swiped a finger wide around) is the rest of the jaw.
Ohmygosh!! And your hand was right there reaching in to retrieve that ball!?!
My son found out they really do have possums living in his area after all while playing with his kids. He’d never heard of any around there before; clearly, they hide really, really well. And dense bushes where nobody could see them, with tasty dark blue berries? What more could it ask for?
Food. It was what was in its Christmas stalking.
