Thoughts on the Day

  • I guess my little girl is growing up.  When given the choice of spending the day at the zoo with Boo and our niece and nephew, Girlie Bear chose to stay home and get her homework done and clean her room.  She wanted to go out to a friend’s house tonight and do stuff with friends tomorrow, so she wanted to get her work done early.
  • The trip to the zoo was wonderful.
    • Couldn’t have asked for better weather.
    • Having two other children for Boo to ping off of at the zoo made the trip easier.
    • We already have a request from Irish Woman’s niece to watch “The Wizard of Oz” and “The Jungle Book” the next time they stay over.
    • The baby addax was out on display today.  All three kids squealed in wonder at how “fluffy” it was.
    • Watching a polar bear swim underwater is quite amazing.
  • Quote of the day at the zoo:  When asked how you tell a daddy lion from a mommy lion, one of the kids stated:  The daddy lion is asleep, the mommy lion is awake.
    • Irish Woman seems to believe that this is a good way to differentiate in humans too.
  • When your son comes home from an anime ‘con dressed up in a schoolgirl outfit, complete with bright blue skirt, the correct thing to say, as a father, is “Nice legs”.
