I have persuaded my mother to let me cook a hare before Christmas, which I am very pleased about (I've always fancied cooking hare). This is some achievement, due to an Unfortunate Hare Incident, involving, so far as I understand, gallons of blood, in the early years of my parents' marriage. I have sworn only to bring it into the house skinned and jointed.

I once had an Unfortunate Octopus Incident when I was married.

*shudder*

That does sound unpleasant! Tentacles and suckers, oh my.

I have tried to get more details of the hare, but to no avail. I can only conclude from the horror-struck tones - and the ban - that it was worse than childbed.

It does sound very scary. Let's hope your hare does something to exorcise its dreadful memory!
