Yesterday I babysat a couple of kids: a girl in Elliot's class (who was out due to a lice infestation all up in her hair) and her little brother (Poppy's age). Their mother had me take them to the Central Park Zoo because it was such a beautiful day out. I found myself in a tank top feeling fine surrounded by people in winter coats. That doesn't seem like me! I figured it would be comparable to the St. Louis Zoo since they're both in big parks. So I was horrified (even though I knew it was coming!) that it cost money. Boy are we St. Louisans spoiled. In a good way, of course. Not only did it cost money, but it was tiny! I know, I know, the big zoo is in the Bronx, but I was still disappointed. I was told there was a petting zoo where you could feed the goats. You could only feed them food through a fence and they're all adults. I wanted to be climbed on by baby goats and to nurse them with little bottles of milk. The saviors of the day were the Sea Lions and their wonderful burps.
I feel bad comparing this little rinky dink affair to St. Louis so I'll have to check out the Bronx zoo next... and then bash it.

Is your head all itchy now? A Tank Top in March for Meggie??? Unheard of! Are you getting sick?
Do you like babysitting? I always hated it. I got no-good kids all the time.
I hated it! I'm too spoiled with my adorable, fun loving Popperton!
Popperton is the best! Except for today. She was pretty whiny today.
