At the Zoo

Esme: I need a penguin!
Us: Here are the penguins!
Esme: I need a tiger!
Us: Here's the tiger!
Esme: I need a monkeys!
Us: Here are the monkeys!
Esme: I need a pig!
Us: But you hate pigs. You're afraid of them.
Esme: I need a pig! Pig! I need a pig!
Us: Okay! Here are the pigs!
Esme: Don't want it.

I've got hens and could find you sheep in variety should you meander through mid Wales....just asking.

Good thing Esme didn't decide to need a polar bear. Oh wait, you aren't in Germany.

Maybe she would like the card playing squirrels I have thoughtfully dedicated to you on my latest post? Ah, the zoo. Sob. Did that surly ass the tapir come out? Thought not.

Shoulder says no.

Forgive me, but this made me think of Lou and Andy from Little Britain. I promise to never compare the adorable Esme to Matt Lucas ever again.

Well, nothing like a bacon buttie to shake that fear off...

@April: You say that, but have we ever seen Esme and Matt Lucas in the same room? I think they're one and the same...

Yes but no but yes but no but... those pigs are right out of order!


"Shoulder says no." I'm still snorking at that. Excellent!

What's the two things they tell you are healthiest to eat? Chicken and fish. You know what you should do? Combine them, eat a penguin.

I don't blame Esme for not wanting pigs. I've never wanted one in my life. But that cheeky little primate sure knows how to lead its parents on a merry dance!

... ah yes, those three little words that make that me want to gently lob my head against the nearest brick wall. Oh and my son has started with 'shoulder says no' as well; previously it was only his elbow talking.
