It actually amuses me that you thought a sheep skull was awesome. I live out in the country, and my dogs used to drag deer bones into the yard sometimes. It used to fascinate me how differently the skull looked without the skin on! And I agree, there are some things a kid needs to be exposed to at least once in his/her life or they'll be scared of everything.

Indeed! I was raised on the countryside too ( though our dogs didn't bring home bones, I did that.. ) and while I understand that people who hasn't seen dead animals/skeleton parts/similar things might find it a bit creepy, they just shouldn't find it THAT creepy. And creepy stuff should be awesome and interesting too!

I find skeletons in general fascinating, and would personally love to own one. I grew up on eighty acres of land, and had my fair share of adventuring; I've seen a lot of skeletons from animals, and I own a replica of a human skull. I'm hoping to legally purchase an actual human skull later on, as I think it'd be cool to own. Her kids do need to be less sheltered, you can't grow up scared of everything.

My sisters and I knew the same. We NEVER would have gone into someone's yard without permission, much less messed with someone else's stuff or dug around in their yard. MAYBE as little bitty toddlers, but at that age, our parents watched us closely. Dad even fenced the side of the patio until we were past that dumb-toddler-high-speed stage! As opposed to having a kid that goes into other yards without permission or invitation and digs holes....
