Lucie Moses Fosters Wild Squirrels

Storyteller Lucie Moses shared her story about fostering wild squirrels at our In a Nutshell Storytelling event at the beautiful Sofia Theatre, where the theme was “Strange Bedfellows.” We’d seen a clip of Lucie telling this tale at a Moth Slam and later found out that the performance was how her kids discovered the full story of Luke and Busta, two baby wild squirrels who took a liking to each other and sought comfort in each other by, um . . . well, engaging in fellatio. The story has a bittersweet ending, as most love stories do, and Lucie had our audience in stitches when she explained how tediously she tried to sew squirrel britches for Luke because he kept getting bladder infections from all that sweet, sweet fellatio. We’ve all been there, right?!Want to hear more stories from Lucie Moses?
