There is a possum in my kitchen!

BB, your being raised with a family of skunks explains a lot.......

Ok, so Bee's possum left quickly. Thanks for clearing up the confusion for me. I really need to stop multitasking and read things better.

another question: is it possum or opossum? and do you or do you not pronounce the o at the beginning?

Javamama, I think now days you can spell it either way. But it used to be just "opossum".

Webster's would spell it opossum but I've never heard anyone pronounce the first o.

The correct pronunciation is PAWww-suuuummm. With emphasis on the first syllable and both syllables dragged out to the end of the week

Sorry, I'm in a goofy mood today.

BB, that pic you posted looks like my DD when she was about 4. I really had to look twice at it before I decided it wasn't her.
