Francis was the star of the Easter egg hunt last Sunday (which took place just after I’d posted last week’s blog). Up against children of species spanning the whole spectrum of local fauna, he collected the most eggs.
This surprised everyone since it’s obvious that he has no outstanding physical prowess. Apparently his innate human curiosity led him to conduct a more thorough exploration of the field than those who relied on their specialized talents.
Yes, it was just a game for preschoolers conducted under arbitrary rules and adult supervision, but it was illuminating. Francis is certainly going to have an interesting life here. It‘s also a reminder that there’s a high likelihood of my having human children in my future.
Fenton and I certainly hope to have children sometime, although not right away. In my mind I’m thinking of my mid- to late-twenties before starting a family. If it happens that as a former human my destiny is to produce human offspring, so be it. Not that that’s carved in stone; for Danielle, the former human, giving birth to a human might be a singular occurrence owing to her more recent arrival here.
...Or to George Fennec having really, really recessive genes! Okay, that was a cheap shot. His genes aren’t so recessive. Just ask Fiona. Ask her from the next area code. Her fennec ears will hear you.
Today's question: Danielle is doing the Hare Link taxes this week. Since she's busy right now I'll ask you: how are human taxes collected?
