He Is a Mean Hyena

He is a mean hyena the child said in horror. His daddy and mommy thought he was joking. Not realizing there had been a lawsuit. Mama Hyena had enrolled her son in the human school. Don’t call him that! His parents protested. It is not nice. But he is a hyena! The child reiterated, right, but not believed. They met the hyena themselves that afternoon in the park. And promptly apologized to their son.

This was inspired by a photograph of a really mean looking hyena.
