that's great, it's seems so thoughtful.

I once got to watch four squirrels play King of the hill on a big oak tree for like 45 minutes.

the one at the top was the hardest to displace because the second one down had to defend its position by chasing off the squirrel below it while also trying to outmanouver the squirrel at the top to displace it.

they where all spread out on the tree like there was clear levels that they held and tried to get up to the next while still defending the squirrel from below.

it's a crude drawing but it looked like a game with rules.

did you draw this for this like to share with me?

are the squiggles representing the general shape of a squirrel in the abstract or is it an s letter cos squirrel starts with an s letter?

yeah that's my scribbles to illustrate the squirrel game.

the S's do represent the squirrels.

I considered drawing long ovals with tails but my drawing skills are really bad. so I went with S's.

if Squirrel started with a K or an A I think I would have gone with the ovals with tails. it would have been too different from how a Squirrel is to have an A represent it.

i love that you drew this to share

this is the most wonderful thing that has happened in at least the last 12 hours for me personally ☺️

& i love the further explanation

the S's are such a nice choice & i hear you about the A
