Brave Squirrel

So I was driving down the road the other day. This road has 4 lanes, 5 if you count the center turn lane, and I noticed a squirrel running across the road. I found myself cheering this squirrel, and was very happy when the little guy made it across all five lanes with heavy traffic. When he reached the other side I loudly shouted “Way to go”. Now as soon as I said this the squirrel stopped, turned, and looked at me. Then turned around, ran back into the street, and I ran him over. Drove the rest of the way with my mouth open in shock.
