A Skunky Outing.

by Donald L. Brown

He grumbles a little as he waits for traffic. Then maneuvers out, and on to the access road leading back to the freeway. Poppa skunk smiles as he gets back on the freeway. Then says. We will be home in a couple hours. Skipper says. Don't forget to stop at the Quick Stop store, Poppa.

The sun starts to set as the lights of the city can be seen in the distance. Poppa skunk takes the off ramp so they can stop at the Quick stop store.. He then stops to wait for the traffic light. Then makes his turn, and pulls into the parking lot.

As he pulls up to park. Mother skunk turns to Poppa skunk. We could use some Milk for breakfast dear. He nods ok, and turns back to ask Skipper, and Tammy what they would like. Tammy shakes Skipper.. Wake up squirt. We are at the store. He rubs his eyes, and huhs. Oh! I want a soda. Poppa. He nods, and asks Tammy. You wish anything? Tammy smiles. I would like a ice cream cone please. He nods ok. Then heads for the store.

Skipper taps his mother on the shoulder. She looks back. What is it honey. He whispers. I need to go.. She nods, and asks Tammy if she needs to as well. She shakes her head no. Mother skunk then takes Skipper inside the store. There she tells Poppa skunk that they will be out in a few minutes.

Poppa skunk returns to the van. He hands Tammy her ice cream. Then sits Skippers soda in a cup holder. He puts the milk in the picnic cooler before returning to the drivers seat.

Skipper smiles as he returns with his mother. They both climb back into the van as Tammy welcomes them back. Skipper yeas, and grabs his soda. His mother shouts be careful just as he spills it all over his self. Tammy sits the cup back in the holder as the poor little skunk starts to cry.
