People say that kids say the funniest things. However, on Monday at the zoo, I caught myself saying what, out of context, might sound really funny.
We ventured to the north end of the zoo to see the bears, only to find that they were huddled up on a rock asleep. Across from them is a display with otters, and there are 2 gold otter statues nearby. As I'm checking out the otters, Colin wanders over to the statues otters and proceeds to start licking the otter on the nose (what caused that impulse, I'm not sure!)
In a moment of angst, I yell to Colin, "Don't lick the otter," realizing that every kid that has been that way has placed their grimy hands all over the otter.
And guess who got sick the next day? Yup, Mr. golden otter licker. As a parent with a toddler, we wash hands lots, use hand sanitizer, etc, but I guess I needed something more powerful on Monday.
