an "AMINAL" down there

Our front yard is a complete mess of tunnels because of a mole, or moles doing their handiwork. A week or so ago Mark was pointing out the mounds of dirt to Erin and Jill, explaining that the mole lived down there & was tunneling around underground. Well, yesterday Bobby and I had Jill for the afternoon (poor little Erin is under the weather), and when we got out of the car to come into the house, Jill refused to walk in the grass. She insisted on going out to the street and walking up the walk. The reason she refused to walk in the grass , she told me, is "There's an AMINAL down there." We're not sure what she's picturing in her mind, but believe me, she wasn't about to step foot on that grass. I believe we're going to have to convince her the mole is gone or her daddy is going to have to have another talk with her. Maybe her grandpa is going to have to waterboard some moles. Just kidding - we all know he'd never do anything like that.
