intelligent you at the local zoo

We're zoo goers.  We love it.

However, we recently discovered that you can't say anything intelligent at the zoo.

Next time you go, listen--to yourself, and others--and observe.  You can't say anything intelligent at a zoo.

One time I tried, really hard, I did, I promise, and this is what came out, "Look, little one, look at the lion!  What is it?  Well, it's like a big cat.  Look at the big cat! He's sleeping.  Look at him sleeping.  There he goes!  Sleeping!"  Then I hung my head in shame.  So I tried again, "Look here!  This is called a howler monkey... wait, no, well the sign here says 'Siamang' and I actually don't think they are the same thing... anyway... look at him swing!"  It's harder than it sounds.  It is.

I heard another patron say, "Look at the cheetah! Look at 'im!"  ....... It was a leopard.

Next time you go to the zoo, observe and if you think of it, leave a comment here on what you find.  I'd be interested to read your findings.

Oh and one more thing... have fun!  For it is very entertaining.
