DC, Day 3

[oakenguy]

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.

There's an orangutan at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, FL who does the same thing with a sheet :)

It was fun having dinner! Sorry we didn't have that much time, but at least we got to meet up. Now I'll have to come to Boston so we can split a brownie there!

P.S. You are also as awesome in person as online.

P.P.S. I finally figured out why I kept getting errors when I tried to friend Deb: I thought her LJ name was GLEWKR, not QLEWKR. Durr.
