Child Brings Dead Squirrel to School in his Backpack, Tells Principal it’s for Dumplings
OutdoorHub ^ | 9/23/16

Posted on 09/23/2016 1:03:22 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A principal of an Oklahoma City elementary school had to make one of the weirdest phone calls to a parent, when a little boy was found keeping a dead squirrel in his backpack. The little boy’s reasoning was priceless.

A photo of the late rodent was posted on Ladye Hobson’s Facebook and explained the awkward phone call she received from the principal of Gatewood Elementary in Oklahoma City.

Ladye Hobson told Fox 25 that her husband often jokes about making squirrel dumplings, and the little boy, Brylan, thought he would bring home dinner for the family.

It’s probably safe to say that the squirrel dumpling jokes have come to a screeching halt in that house after this.

Eh, Roadkill is as Edible as anything else.

I had Roadkill Deer years ago and it was delicious!

It took me a second to figure out what picture was. At first, I would have sworn that you were posting an extremely obscene photo (best described as large, semi-aquatic, wood-eating, dam-building rodent shot) ...

Not flat enough to be road kill.

Sometimes even the dead squirrel makes it into the news cycle.

Make sure that ‘Rocky’ is dead before you dare touching him!
Living squirrels move and bite like a bolt of lightening.
Sure he isn’t just takin a nap?

I walked to school checking my traplines in the winter. I caught ‘coons, mushrats and rabbits in them. I took the fur (except the rabbits). Nothing went to waste except the bones and tails from the mushrats.

You avoid eating squirrel this time of year in my neck of the woods.
I began seeing wolfs a couple weeks ago.

They are not bad eatin’.

I think Granny’s specialty was more possum stew.
