Ooooo, long day.
Here's what I've learned today:
*
foresthouse? As awesome in person as online.
*To some 4-year olds, suddenly being given tacit approval to use the word "butt" in a sentence is as heady as a shot of whiskey. Also, making a raspberry sound? Comedy. Gold. "Knock knock." "Who's there?" "Ptththbt"...this had her ROLLING with laughter.
*In other news, I don't think I have to worry about being asked to babysit anymore by Deb's siblings.
*More exhausting than babysitting a four-year-old? Listening to the four-year-old's grandparents talk about their 11 months of home renovations. And talk. And talk. And snipe at each other. And tallllllk.
* There's an orangutan in the DC zoo who'll walk around with a sheet around her, looking like a very squat Miss Haversham. She uses it to play peek-a-boo with visitors.
* There's a little deer-like mammal called an acouchi who's curious enough that, if you wiggle your fingers, she will come close and investigate even if it involves walking under a branch where a golden tamarin is sitting.
* If you walk under a golden tamarin, he will poop on your head.
* Again, comedy GOLD.
