Lovegirl: Mama, look! There’s a kangaroo in the backyard!
Nerd Girl: Lovegirl, there is not . . . (hmmm, just what if there is) . . . I’m coming.
Nerd Girl: Lovegirl, that is not a kangaroo. That’s a squirrel standing on his haunches.
Lovegirl: Yeah, well, he kind of looked like a kangaroo from here.
Clearly, a trip to the zoo is in order.
I hate when a perfectly good kangaroo sighting turns into nothing more thana stupid squirrel.
@ TKW – I know right? The possibility of there actually being a kangaroo in our backyard, in Mississippi, though infintessimally small, was still there, so I figured I’d better check! Why I keep letting this child make a fool of me, I’ll never know.
I actually saw a kangaroo up close today when me and the family went to the zoo. They let us go into a fenced in area where the Australian creatures roam free. They do look a tiny bit like squirrels (ok not really).
