for Sparkle Plenty





Sparkle talks about the squirrels.

I was at a traveling zoo today with the wee ones. The younger wee ones loved it, the older ones did too, though they complained the whole time, as teens will.

Well there were squirrel monkeys. I thought of Sparkle. I only had my phone with me so the photos are not what they could be.

The older ones did the Eddie Izzard act about squirrels and make up and leavening the gas on.








In case you don't know it, here it is.

Hopefully I figure out how to get the photos in here.

HA! Thanks, Ishat's! Very, very funny clip.

The traveling zoo sounds like fun--extra fun for the older ones who got to complain bitterly.

I'm fascinated by the sign in the cage. There are hawks and eagles SPECIALIZED to eat squirrel monkeys? Do the hawks and eagles get sent to some special training school or something? Do they have to get additional certifications for different kinds of monkey-eating? What a world!

:-)

Yes, they have Specialized Predator Boot Camp.

In the camp the get broken into specialized units.

On such unit's class is "how to tell the difference between Eddie Izzard and a squirrel in make up" and the all popular "don't have sex where you eat: you never know what you will make"

Yes, I will have to torcher the older children with other trips that appear to be just for the younger children. it is the mother's right. Anyhow it teaches them how to be good parents. "See none of us really like it, but you have to do it for the wee ones. I took you guys when you were young things, now you must pretend you like it now for the wee ones."

They actually were making funny jokes. There was this critter that would slide back and forth on it's back on this swing. It was hilarious. because it would stop anytime a camera went up. My telephone camera could not capture it fast enough And the leaping lemurs were all over the place but one SWISHED it's head. We decided that was the Eddie of lemurs. Every time it came by we all said "annnnnd Swiiiish". After a few of those it started looking at us, changing the area it swished in and looked at us. Other families though we were touched. But they had not as nearly as much fun as us.

I know how the caged squirrel monkey sings.

(fun torchering teenagers! one of the things I have to look forward to as a parent)

Red,
One big key to torchering teens is having more children. Than make them go through all the stuff you had to go through when they were young.

Another great torcher technique is picking out their gf or bf for them. I think the best one is making them be social with your friend's kids.

But make sure they are total opposite on that one, having absolutely nothing in common with them. This one can backfire if the teens are very much akin to the parents because you may realize you have nothing in common with your friend. So your friend's step kids are best on for this one.

Enjoy the "fun years" while they last. And just have more kids when they stop, that way you can always have more "fun years" with another one. I have had too many wee ones with that thought process.

Oh. My. God. You've even got me misspelling "torture". And I didn't even notice it. Until now.

Red,

Sorry trust me to trust the spell checker without checking.
