"goodnight gorilla" is a favorite book in our house these days. For those of you not familiar with children's paperboard books, the basic synopsis is that Gorilla sneakily takes the zookeepers keys and very quietly lets all the animals out of the zoo. They then follow the zookeeper home.
Last weekend, when we were at the zoo, Kirke and I very excited took Alice to see the gorillas thinking that she would enjoying seeing them in the flesh. In retrospect, we realized that this wasn't the best idea, since Alice kept on sitting on top of Kirke's shoulders waving "all done" and anxiously crying. We finally realized that she was afraid of the gorilla and asked, "are you concerned that gorillas might follow you home?" to which she answered, emphatically, " yeah!".
There is no photo evidence of that experience, but here is Alice checking out the farm animals.....
