Wearing a squirrel suit.
Then again, maybe I didn't.
But maybe I did.
Probably I did.
OK. I did.
I definitely ate lunch at the park.
It was the end of the week and I was feeling a little squirrelly. Besides, it was casual Friday, so.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, "squirrelly" is an adjective that means:

Guilty as charged, your Honor.
This park is a common ground area in the middle of my neighborhood. There are swings, a merry-go-round, a slide, tennis and basketball courts, and the whole thing is surrounded by houses.
I was in the park for about half an hour, in full squirrel regalia, doing my thing.
Nobody noticed. Or if they did, nobody cared.
I think it's because I blended in so well with my surroundings. Squirrels can do that.
