When my best friend and I were in about sixth grade we loved to climb trees. There was one tree that had a family of wild and mean mongoose (mongeese?) living at the base. My friend and I would have to climb as high as we could to get away from them. Our mongeese were eight feet tall and had razor sharp teeth. :D I think we finally got over this in about the eighth grade. I still think of eight feet tall creatures with razor sharp teeth whenever i hear the word mongoose though. ^_^
