My 'fur' memory

My favorite, favorite, FAVORITE educator was (and is) my first grade teacher. I remember taggin' along behind her on the playground one chilly day. I touched her coat b/c it looked soooooo soft. Come to find out it was rabbit fur. I was horrified. I went home bawling telling mom "I saw dead bunnies! I didn't like Mrs. L anymore!" 'Course mom flipped out--she thought I saw actual carcasses. Finally she got me calmed down enough to find out that it was a furcoat.

I still remember that coat and still remember feeling so icky after I touched it & found out what it was.
