Moose Is Loose

I wish I had gotten a picture the other day.  My daughter opened the garage door to find a large moose standing between her car and mine.  She waited, but he just stood there looking at her.  Finally, she came back in and called work to tell them she would be late due to the moose near the car.  She waited and after a few minutes he traveled on his way down the street to the neighbors house.  This is a common occurrence in our neighborhood, for a long time we had a family of moose living in our backyard.  A few years ago, Mama moose got hit by a car leaving two yearlings to fend for themselves.  Since then the babies have been living somewhere else.  The moose in the yard I have no doubt was related to Mama.
Anyway, my daughter went on to work as usual.  Later, when she came home, my granddaughter said "grandma, guess what"?  I said "what"?  She promptly stated, "that moose pooped behind your car"!
I said, "Well, that explains why he just stood there looking, he must have been concentrating".
She said, "Yeah, mom must have scared him".  I said "Yeah, she probably scared the poop right out of him"!  We all laughed at that one.  I wish I had a nickel for every time someone in Alaska couldn't leave their house because a moose is in the yard or driveway, I'd be rich!!!!
