Hi all,
I`m some what behind with the FML, so i`m sorry to bring this to you some
what after the fact <g>.
 
After reading a post from someone, about work colleagues complaining of
ferret smell on clothes, it reminded me of something along similar lines.
 
My son, Josh came out of school a while back, complaining he had mislaid
his sweatshirt.  We both searched through all the lost property bins,
trying to find the elusive item.  Unfortunately, i hadn`t written his name
in it and there were many the same amongst everything.  Then suddenly Josh
announced, *here it is!*  To which replied, *how do you know that ones
yours?*  (You know what`s coming don`t you)  To this Josh stated, quite
matter of factly *Because it smells like ferrets!*
 
I was really embarrassed about this, the thought of him sitting at school,
with the teacher leaning over him and not quite putting her finger on that
original aroma <g>
 
Ferret keeping is still relatively rare in the UK, (even though they are
becoming immensely more popular just lately) so the teacher probably never
knew quite why Josh smelt that way :o)  I hasten to add, i restrict cuddles
until after school now, once he`s got changed.
 
Best wishes to all, Jane, Harvey, Katy, Casper, Phoebe & Emil
