Social Question
Have you ever had a hard time disciplining your child because you were laughing too hard?
I mean, you’re laughing on the inside, trying not to let it out but there it is and you can hardly talk! I have more than one instance of my own, but I’ll share this one I just came across in my memories. It’s regarding Savannah, the precocious girl twin:
“Corrie and the twins were at the zoo, looking at the orangutans. The biggest one was just lounging in his hammock. Nothing much was happening so Savannah looked away for a moment. Then suddenly he got up and grabbed a swinging rope.
Corrie said to four year old Savannah, “Savannah! Look!”
Savannah turned her head just as the fat, 1000 pound, fat, blubby, obese orange guy (no not that guy. This was an actual orangutan) swung toward her and SLAMMED into the plate glass right in her face! It startled Savannah so bad she fell off of the seat thingy that runs in front of the enclosure and fell on the ground.
She laid there for a second, stunned, then yelled, “Oh SHIT!! THAT was unnecessary!!”
SHE’S 4!!!
Corrie TRIED to admonish her for her cuss word use but couldn’t seem to find find the words between her gasps for air!
Then Savannah stormed out of the exhibit darkly muttering things about “Stupid monkeys” under her breath. “I’m never going to visit them again, stupid monkeys.”
OMG. ROFLOLLL!!
I have to ask you, my little one, is there a time when it is actually NECESSARY for a full grown, alpha male orangutan to body slam a plate glass window just to scare the crap out of a little kid??
