Poor Confused Critter

[debka_notion]

An opossum wandered by the window in front of davenen this morning, much to everyone's confusion, since they are, as far as we all could remember, nocturnal. I did a project on them back in elementary school (and made a stuffed one, although I wasn't sophisticated enough in my sewing to give it legs- but it had a body and a tail, and possibly eyes, and we had it for quite a while, and I was actually quite fond of it.), but I'd never seen a live one for long before. (I saw one at night once, but it moved pretty fast- all I could tell was that it wasn't a cat.) I was surprised that I could identify it so easily.
