Dear Mr. Squirrel

I'm sure you were a lovely squirrel, with your big brown eyes and bushy tail. I'll bet you scampered around in the mountains with few cares, other than gathering nuts for your family. I'm sorry I didn't see you because my adorable toddler was singing a Death Cab for Cutie song. I was so entrenched in his cuteness that I failed to swerve in time and took your life. I feel awful.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Squirrel. My apologies to your family :(
