My friend Helena and I took our twins to the zoo a few weeks ago. Man, these kids were JACKED UP. I swear they ran for three hours straight. Marathoners need to be looking to the preschool set for tips on how maintain their stamina.
We headed over to the indoor Rainforest Exhibit. It’s moist and has lots of birds. Helena held open the door while our crew dashed inside and ran over to the nearest wall.
Kids: “Wow, that’s amazing!!!!! Oh my gosh!! Woah, what IS that?!”
Me: “Dudes. Those are rocks. That’s a pile……of ROCKS……. The animals are that-a-way.”
Kids: “Ooooooohhh! Wow! Let’s go!”
It’s like they just don’t care. Or they care deeply, and they are simple. In which case I should really just go with it, because there will be a lot of rock-staring in our future.
They are so noble and majestic.
