That roadkill reminds me of when my kids were little, and we'd see a lifeless bunny or deer or raccoon on the road and I'd notice my kids' sad faces, and say "Boy that bunny sure picked a silly spot to take a nap." As they got older and smarter and onto me, I'd still say it (knowing that they knew that I was "full of it"...or they would say the "silly spot" thing...to keep the tradition going. It sort of softened the blow of the way they (and I) hated to see the poor animals in that state, being that they love animals so much. Their love of animals is one of the COUNTLESS things I love about my loving, sweet children.
I guess you could call our "Pointing out of Dumb/Silly Spot-Picker-for-Napping, Animal Tradition." :-)
