Until you have experienced raccoons mating underneath your bedroom at three in the morning, you have missed one of life’s more sensational moments. It is an uncommon event, to say the least. If you’ve ever heard cats fighting in the night, you have a clue. Magnify the volume and the intensity by ten. It’s not what you’d call a sensual and erotic sound. More like a three-alarm fire is what it is. I remember the first time it happened. Since conditions were not really conducive to sleep, I got up. When I say I got up, I mean I GOT UP. About three feet up. Straight up. Covers and all. When I had recovered my aplomb and adjusted to the new adrenaline level, I got a flashlight and went outside and peered up under the house. This lady raccoon and her suitor were squared off in a corner, fangs bared, covered with mud and blood, and not looking very sexy at all. Neither my presence nor the beam of light could override what drove them on. With snarls and barks and screams, the passionate encounter raged on. While I watched, the matter was finally consummated and resolved. They had no shame. What had to be done was done. And they wandered off, in a kind of glazy-eyed stupor, to groom themselves for whatever comes next in the life of a raccoon. I sat there in the rain, my light still shining into the trysting chamber. And I pondered. Why is it that love and life so often have to be carried forth with so much pain and strain and mess? I ask you, why is that? I was thinking of my own sweet wife asleep in the bed right above me, and our own noises of conflict mixed with affection. I wondered what the raccoons must conclude fron the sounds a husband and wife make at night – the ones that sound like “If you really loved me you would not keep making such a mess in the bathroom,” followed by “OH YEAH? WELL, LET ME TELL YOU A FEW THINGS…” Why isn’t love easy? I don’t know. And the raccoons didn’t say. What is the author’s tone? A) Adventurous B) Majestic C) Giddy D) Introspective
