Let's Go to the Zoo

The boys and I headed to the zoo yesterday. After all was said and done, our group consisted of like ten or eleven kiddies. The adults were hopelessly outnumbered, but we managed to maintain some sense of chaotic order.

As I put the boys to bed last night, I asked Aidan and Brennan to describe their favorite part of the zoo visit.

Aidan liked the sea lion exhibit. As we stood on the bridge overlooking the sea lion stream, a sea lion burst to the surface and sprayed water directly at Aidan. It was a show stopper.

Brennan thought about my question and after a minute or two of silence said, "I liked the dinosaurs the best."

Me: "Dinosaurs? Brennan, we didn't see any dinosaurs."

Brennan: "Really?" He looks at me with surprise, gazes off into space with contemplation, and says "Huh."

After another minute of silence, he looks back at me, smiles and says, "Then I guess I liked the elephants."

Okay. There are times I wished I could see inside Brennan's world. I have a feeling alot goes on there that we don't know about.

P.S. Happy Birthday to me. I am 23. Really. I swear. 23! Uh huh. Sigh. For my birthday dinner tonight, I picked pizza and chocolate cake. Yes, I really should be saying I am turning ten.
