Little creatures

For Mother's Day, Samson and Jane got Vicki a membership to the zoo. So we took our little creatures to see the big ones. Including the new baby elephant, whose name just happens to be Samson. You can imagine how excited our guy was at seeing and hearing his name all over the zoo.

Speaking of things overheard, Sam has entered a phase of, er, anatomical awareness. Lots of discussions about who does or does not have what part [sidenote: for some reason, he insists on pronouncing it pea-NUSSS, which renders me Beavis-like every time.]

Anyway, and probably not coincidentally, this new found knowledge has surfaced alongside what we think may be the home stretch of potty training. Add to this scenario a public bathroom at the zoo and the inevitable toddler "outside" voice, and you've got yourself a perfect storm.

I'm not going to provide a transcript. In fact, I wasn't there [I was sitting, mercifully, with Jane on a bench watching birds], but suffice to say Samson Crying-Gamed Vicki in the stall.

Oh the humanity...
