Squirrel Traps



What is this you ask? It is a squirrel trap. The first thing you would need to make one of these for yourself is a boxing helmet. The one you put on your little brother before you hit him in the face with the boxing gloves will work fine. Then you need the dog leash. Next place some cut-up apples in the helmet and set it where you see the squirrels in your yard. Build a fort out of all of your mother's clean towels and blankets before she notices since she never can get caught up on the laundry and can never find a clean towel for herself. Once she sees how cute you are she won't freak out because you will melt her heart...again. Hide inside for at least an hour and wait like the patient, intense person that you are. Have your mother give you a lecture on the dangers of squirrels just in case for some reason you catch one which would be just her luck. Be the little boy that you are.

That kid is going to be an engineer like his Grampa George.

I'm confused. Is the leash to knock the helmet down and trap the squirrel, or is it to grasp its little leg and lasso it?

The idea was for the squirrel to crawl into the helmet and eat the apples inside. Then I think the plan was to yank the helmet off the wall by pulling the attached leash. I'm not sure if he thought about it past that. :-)
