GESUNDHEIT Anyone whos spent more than one afternoon parenting, babysitting or assuming nanny duties knows that getting small children to adopt good manners can be no easy task. They take things without asking, protest loudly when they dont get their way and have no regard for personal hygiene.
Runny noses, coughing that produces projectile mists and sneezes that go largely uncovered make for understandable grievances for people in the care of infants and small children. Cover your mouth! is a largely common refrain among parents and babysitters alike.
Its even more difficult to get four-legged critters of various species to adhere to similar standards. And since we often compare children to animals, I think the metaphor is warranted.
In a video posted by MaK Classics on YouTube, a man and woman are driving through either a wilderness reserve or just a deer-saturated country road when they stop to take a few pictures of some encroaching wildlife.
Too often, engrossed with our cellphones and a operating in a world that is increasingly out of touch with the ecosystems around us, we forget just how dangerous animals can be. Even when theyre not exactly dangerous, they can just be gross.
When a buck approaches the couples vehicle, he sticks his head right into the drivers-side window and does something very rude. If were being fair and not ascribing human standards to an animal, he was just doing what deer do and warning his herd of something suspicious going on.
So to recap, here are the animals and coordinating actions one should be wary of: a skunks spray, a camels spit and a bucks sneeze.
