This didn't annoy me but made me laugh and go "Duh!"!!
After dating/being married to her son for years, my mom in law and I were in a bookstore so I could pick up some Alpha Gam stuff. She sees all the squirrels and knows that I've been collecting them for years (she's even given me some).
"So, are squirrels your mascot"?
No, but they're easier to find than chipmunks.
Just kidding!!
