sock monkey behind the counter....


so you walk in to get a burger combo at the local fast food place and staring back at you to take your order is a sock monkey. you're first reaction is "ok, this is some kind of joke...". you know someone is under the counter holding the monkey, so should you just act like everything is normal and place your order? what do you say? should you address the monkey? do you really trust the food here now?

just a slice of life moment I thought I'd share...

sea world story...


my mother-in-law told me this about a friend of hers. she took her son down to Sea World in San Diego for the day recently. the boy has Down's but is pretty high functioning. they had fun watching the shows and exhibits but then, this being during the summer and the park being crowded, suddenly they were separated and the boy was missing. as any parent knows, this is very frightening. she looked around, backtracked and after a while was starting to panic when finally, she found him. he was soaking wet and they'd already had a full day, so she decided that was enough and they went home. that evening, she was checking on the boy in his room and was surprised to see, standing on his bed, a live penguin! apparently he had found a way to catch the bird at the penguin exhibit and had put it in his backpack... he was smuggled out of the park without notice and didn't make a peep the whole car trip either. mom hurriedly called Sea World and told them what happened. they told her to put the penguin in the bathtub with cold water and ice cubes and they would come get it. and so they did... aren't kids fun!
