One last post that's not depressing before I force myself to go into writing mode until I finish this thing:
My 10yo just finished her halloween costume: she's an owl pellet. She came up with the idea herself! Proud parenting moment. (We got a thrift store long fuzzy brown jacket that she glued plastic bones all over)

Yeah, and it looks like the owl is aiming at something or someone on the ground! 🤣

Found some day an owl pellet in the woods and took it home for educational purposes for my kids.
Still have it (after 8 years) somewhere in a small plastic box
😄

in reply to Prof. Sam Lawler • •Ignorant urban me: "the heck is an owl pellet, like, a pill of hay, owl droppings or..."
(finds out it's a ball of undigested bones and assorted body parts the owls vomit)
"...you sure your kid is well?"

in reply to Carlos Solís • • •@csolisr A pretty common kid science project growing up was to dissect an owl pellet and reconstruct the rodent skeleton on construction paper.
It's possible that other kids will be familiar with owl pellets, make the connection, and then be hella jealous they didn't come up with an owl pellet costume.
