Henry's class went to the zoo last week. Before they went, they learned lots of fun Kindergarten songs about all the animals they would see (monkey, elephants, tigers, etc.). Naturally, when he got in the car after school, I asked him about the animals he saw. His response included, but was not limited to:
Andean condor
ring-tailed lemur
wildebeests
blue-tongued skink
black-tailed prairie dogs
lowland gorillas
red kangaroos
vultures
scarlet ibis
emus
Not quite what I was expecting to hear, given the preface of the cute little zoo songs. But then, knowing Henry, I should have seen it coming.
My other favorite H-quote from our zoo conversation:
"I can ONLY think of three kinds of running birds: emu, ostrich, cassowary . . . oh wait -- and rhea. I guess I can think of four."

Love, the H quote! adorable and adorably nerdy.
Oh man. That sounds like quite the zoo! I love how interested Henry is. It's great.
