Even the Oppossum Stuck Up Her Nose

Our cupboards are full of junk no one would ever eat. My husband has this little buy-too-many groceries problem. Especially if they are on sale. "I'm saving you money,' says he. Sure. He saved me money on 9 $1 jugs of tea I took to school and the teachers poured out in the sink. Teachers! The biggest scavengers on the face of the planet. The ones who will eat or drink anything. Usually. I discovered two cans of a unique off-brand dog food in the cupboard yesterday when I was in manic mood and cleaning after 11 years of naught. "Why didn't we give this to Sophie?" I asked. "I tried," he admitted. "She stuck up her nose." I saw our little pet opossum out there a few minutes later, so I ran out and put down the off-brand dog food. The opossum ran off,so I followed her. Pushing the off-brand dog food closer to her lair. At 3:30 in the afternoon it was still there, in a giant lump. Uneaten. Untasted. Yes, you are certainly saving me money when even the opossum puts up her nose.
