There is this guy at school, a very STRANGE person. One of those people you wonder what is going through their head. Those people that just make you laugh and you silently are thankful that you are not like them. But if you were honest about yourself, life would be boring without these people.
Why is his name Pink Hat Paul? Well, let me explain. This kid, the first day of classes, bought a pink Bethel College baseball cap. Yes pink...right out of the ladies section in the bookstore. And has he gone a day without it? Of course not. And, citing my last blogpost, I rarely know anybody's last name here. Hence where I got the name Pink Hat Paul; and it has stuck...he is now known on campus as that very name.
The first conversation I had with him was on the technique of chasing squirrels. I never knew such a thing existed until he was very adamant about teaching me how this was done. Trust me, it was quite the process.
Well, recently, several of us have been noticing that there is one squirrel in particular on campus who is bald, has spots, and looks anorexic. Yes, I know, crazy, but it's true! It is probably the ugliest thing I have ever seen, but I feel so sorry for the poor guy.
Today in class, I overheard a girl asking another girl about the SAME squirrel. Well, I dove into the conversation as well and we were trying to come up with a legitimate reason why this squirrel was so skinny and bald. Well, Pink Hat Paul had an answer!
And I quote: "The squirrel you speak of is probably from the family of the thirteen lined ground squirrel. And it was probably a baby since it was so small and didn't have hair; these squirrels are born blind, hairless, and toothless. These types of squirrels have dark brown markings under their fur which is probably what you saw."
Thank you, Pink Hat Paul, for another educating lesson on such things...
