Whenever we were driving and saw a dead animal, I always thought it was sleeping. I would ask my dad, "Why is the deer (or raccoon, squirrel, etc.) sleeping there, Daddy?" and he would say, "I don't know but that's not a very good place for it to sleep, it'll get run over." It never occurred to me until later in life that animals don't just sleep in the middle of the road..
