I went to the zoo with my nephew over the weekend. He had a birthday earlier this month too, he’s all of nine years old now, which means it’s still going to be a while before he gets my sense of humor and understands why his weird uncle laughs at the things he does.
He didn’t really say if he had a favorite animal or not, although he liked the birds that ate out of his hand, and it’s probably safe to say that he liked the otters, too. I mean, who doesn’t?
I think the organgutan that loped around inside of a waxed cardboard box might have perplexed him a bit. I’d like to think I got the joke, but I have a feeling those monkeys are the ones having a laugh at us.
And then…my camera ran out of batteries. WEAK.
