No Tiger Today

"So did you have fun today?" I ask innocently.

"Yes Mom. But no Tiger today. Maybe later!" says Smiles.

"No Tiger?" I ask curious.

"Yeah I was in the pink group and we saw guinea pigs, something that curled up into a ball and a bird!" she enthuses excitedly.

"Um really?"

"Yeah and the ball thing peed on the rug and we couldn't say 'Ew' we had to say 'That's interesting!"

"That's interesting!?" I can't help but say in response.

"Yeah and I was a Spider Monkey. Tomorrow I will be a snake!" I smile and nod at Smiles statement.

"So you had fun today at the Zoo then?" I ask.

"Oh yes Mommy and I ate all my lunch. Can you make the cheese sandwich again tomorrow. I really liked it!" She looks up at me with big blue eyes.

"Alright Sweetie I can do that!" I smile back.

For the next two days she will be back at the zoo learning about different animals. Oh and the reason why they could not say 'Ew' was because they were right next to the elephant enclosure which can be quite smelly and the guide has apparently gotten tired of hearing 'Ew' all the time! At least they stepped around the pile that landed in the middle of the sidewalk.
