when I was little, driving around with my parents, if we smelled skunk, my mom would tell me that the skunks were scared, that's why they sprayed their smell. I believed that for so long, till I was around 12 or 13 and I repeated it to my mom and she laughed at me. little skunks, sitting scared on the side of the road...
