Our Raccoon

We were watching television when my mom saw it out of the corner of her eye. There was something outside. She peeked out the front door to see a raccoon sitting on the black, cast iron railing of the front porch. He was just sitting there staring through the window watching the pictures on the TV flash by. Night after night, for quite a long time, you could find that raccoon sitting on the railing, peering in and joining the family as we sat down in the evening to watch our favorite shows.
