Discussion
are you not an appreciator of nature?
do you not bring cool sticks home? leaves to press? have you ever made a dandelion flower crown? find a feather while hiking?
i went to visit a friend once in the catskills
as i was leaving she said: oh! i have something for you
she had found the skin a snake had shed & thought i wanted it
i did
im sure thats floating around my house somewhere too
if this is Miller's The Crucible
what character would you be if you could choose your own casting?
Indeed I appreciate nature and collect keepsakes from travels. In the moment, the phrasing of finding a skull while doing chores sounded a bit absurd (discovering an unknown skull would usually be alarming), and my comment was just meant to reflect the comedy of that absurdity.
I hadn’t considered the notion that you were genuine in curiosity, and that my note could be interpreted as mockery.
If you do find out the species, I would love to learn of it as well!
