conulyI figure once in a while, an early pick-up and an excursion is good - tires them out!
This playground is at Battery Park City. You know, the squirrels there are very tame, come right up to you. (A few years ago, I met up with somebody from Australia at that playground, and she just could not get over the squirrels. They don't have them in Australia, of course, and the fact that they were very nearly pets...! They'll eat out of your hand if you let them, or even if you don't.) Somebody had foolishly left an open container of strawberries and grapes in a stroller. I come into the playground, and there's a squirrel industriously raiding it for snacks. Naturally it didn't even blink as I moved close. Eventually made off with, like, half of them.
I didn't see the fallout of this, but do you know, I bet that person blamed another child? LOL. Moral: Don't leave food out in urban parks.
