This certainly is making me rethink my strategy of walking (a little bit) away from my kids when they don’t want to follow me home!
Hm. Ok, first daven.
Then, can you put up a mirror or some reflective material near her nest, so that instead of giving you the eye, she’ll see herself and start to consider her own role in this tragedy?
Maybe stop looking at the squirrel. By seeking out her gaze you are acting suspiciously. Behave normally, that is, pretty much ignore the mother squirrel–since you are INNOCENT, aren’t you?–and she will probably find some other being to blame, such as a stray dog. But if she starts walking on your windowsill, pressing her face to the glass, or knocking to get your attention, and then waving her fisted paw menacingly, it might be hard to maintain that behavior (or what’s left of your composure).
Perhaps search for the baby squirrel? Or go attempt to find a prospective adoptive baby for the mother, you know, some other abandoned baby squirrel?
You might also consider that since squirrels, being rodents, have bulgy beady eyes with no visible whites, whenever they look at us it seems a strangely intense gaze. Could you, possibly, be reading a bit much into this?
Most importantly, if you find any gift-wrapped acorns on your front porch, DO NOT TOUCH THEM! Call poison control, or the bomb squad.
Hatzlacha!
