Maybe they won't have to shell out for Playboy this month
If you have a headache and you eat ice cream, does the ice cream headache cancel the original headache out?
Yesterday, the sun made everything happy. Today, I think I got too much sun. We spent an entire day *around* the zoo, but only about two and a half hours *at* the zoo. Traffic sucked, parking didn't suck because it wasn't available, and when we finally managed to get a space and get in, the place was still packed.
I think Jamie was already tired by the time we got to the zoo, but the hippo made quite an impression on her. So much that she wanted to go back and see him again. We stopped in to check him out on our way to the car, and got to watch a zookeeper pet him, get him to open his HUGE mouth, and give him a banana for a "treat". I say "treat", because the zookeeper threw the banana into his gaping maw, right down his throat. He didn't chew, and unless hippos are made different from other mammals, he never tasted it. After the demostration, the hippo finally got into the water, took a drink and swam. I think Jamie was finally content.
I don't think Katie got much of a thrill from the zoo. She won't fall asleep in the stroller, and when I tried to nurse her to sleep in front of the sea lion, all I managed to do was provide masturbation material for a group of teenage boys. I don't think the poor kids even saw anything worth getting excited about, but I got the impression they didn't see it that way.
When we got home, Katie finally got her chance to "run". She must have made a dozen or two laps around me, crawling after a box of dominoes she wanted to dump. It sounds cruel, but she was laughing and giggling like this was the best game ever.
Oh, and the headache thing? The ice cream makes it worse.
