Off to the Zoo

Yesterday afternoon we all went downtown, and as Charles said, "It's a miracle, we aren't going to the Capitol." We did drive past the Capitol and the children waved enthusiastically glad to be going by.

At the zoo we came upon the silver backed gorillas. One gorilla squatted on the grassy bank, staring at us, when suddenly he stood, turned around and bent over. Well, gorilla bottoms look very similar to human bottoms, and when the gorilla turned around displaying his quite large bottom, Oliver was astonished. He yelled in horror, "Mom, he's not wearing any pants!"

I pointed out that the giraffes didn't wear pants, and Oliver laughed and said," Oh, yeah."

This morning, Oliver stripped off all his clothing, and enthusiastically ran around the upstairs saying," I'm a gorilla."
