Shed Animal

Pictured above is our Shed Animal, which lives in our shed (hence the name) and according to eye-witness accounts is a rat-chicken-kangaroo hybrid. I'm slightly sceptical myself, but apparently it lives on a shelf in the shed, so is able to leap a metre high (and down again when disturbed), moves like a chicken and is the size of a large rodent. Someone suggested it's a hedgehog, but that would be boring! Never has taking out the compost been so exciting. Will Shed Animal appear and attack? Has it mastered wielding the weapons in the shed and is planning a massacre? To be safe most family members now rattle the shed door before entering, thus announcing their presence to Shed Animal. Surely it's only a matter of time before we have to garden in packs in case of a Shed Animal attack. I just hope I don't get to see what it really is because then I wasted five minutes drawing that stupid picture.
