hang in there pussycat.

While hanging from the branch will be hard, I am rather fit and the possible fall would be worse if I tried to wall on the branch.

Sacrificing short term modesty for a chance to go home I climb out the window. Going legs first I give Ernest and his damned camera a full view of my ass, both my hands being needed not to fall.

I drop to the branch and lower myself hanging from it by my arms, now facing him , my legs open to keep balance as I advance one grab at a time towards the nest and the such sought-after key.

I manage to reach the nest and shake it enough to make the tin can fall.

"Mom the key is in there, try to find it" I shout.

"I have it Laurie, now please just be carefull and get back down safely." She replies with glee, after a short search.

After an athletic turn, once more exposing my butt to the everwatching boy I come back near the trunk, close enough to grab the ladder and come down without more incident than soiling my hands and feet again with that gross mess of mixtures covering it.

As I get down, my mom the key in hand seems in no hurry to open the door. As I press her to let me go in she stops me.

"Wait a second young girl you can’t go inside! " She tells me, finding me dumbfounded after all my efforts to get the key.
