ReplyDeleteTo echo Kirt, there's a story about my uncle from when they were growing up. The house they lived in was along a dirt alley. For trash pick-up you just put your garbage cans over the fence into the alley. One day when my uncle was around three years old they caught him playing in the alley, trying to lure a cat from where it was hiding among the garbage cans. "Here kitty kitty!" It was an enormous rat.
