The peanut man

It looks like Dad is
becoming famous in our neighborhood. I walked out on my sun deck early this
morning and saw that Charlene was hosting an early morning get-together for
some of the squirrel moms with little ones.
Charlene and the moms were
sitting on her table daintily nibbling on peanuts from a large bowl in the
center of her table while the baby squirrels were sitting in a circle at their
feet. When I listened closely, I could hear them singing the following song:
Oh, do you know the peanut
man,
The peanut man, the peanut man,
Oh, do you know the peanut man,
That lives in Hobo’s house?
The peanut man, the peanut man,
Oh, do you know the peanut man,
That lives in Hobo’s house?
Oh, yes, I know the peanut man,
The peanut man, the peanut man,
Oh, yes, I know the peanut man,
That lives in Hobo’s house.
I felt proud at first just
knowing that Dad is becoming famous for throwing peanuts to the squirrels but
then, I thought, why is Dad getting all the credit? After all, it was my idea
to give the squirrels the peanuts in the beginning, and they should be singing
about me and not about Dad.
I guess it’s all right
though. Dad is a hard worker when I tell him what to do, so I guess it’s OK if
he has a little credit now and then.

It is important to remember that while he is called the squirrel man you are still mentioned by name
