it seems like the longest winter spring in remembrance. even though i know it's not.
i could never live in canada. weather and other reasons.
but one day we were able to go to the zoo.
find the duck.
open wide.
open wide.
at this point of the cute seal demonstration there was a big bang and the trainer jumped in surprise.
that would be because someone's child dropped her metal water bottle 10 inches from the trainers head.
and that water bottle broke sending the cap spinning into the seal pool and sending other trainers scrambling to get a net to fish it out before the seals became too curious.
that child could have been mine.
and her mother could have shouted 'good job p, way to ruin the fun.'
it wasn't really her fault.
there were about 15 adults blocking the view of the whole show and no rom for kids at the rail. (grownups can be clueless sometimes.... i mean, who is taller? chances are you can see over the kid you let next to the glass rail)... so the nuzzle was holding her to see and when he set her down her backpack hit against the side railing and the water bottle launched itself with the mission of taking down the trainer.
but that's not really an easy thing to shout down to annoyed seal trainers.
i think the baby seal was relieved to stop brushing it's teeth though.
