My sister said its a good thing it wasn't her kid that did it b/c she doesn't check backpacks for like a week! aacck!
I wonder if they'll ever go back to THAT zoo??? I wonder if they'll be allowed to? :p

as I said

it was a friend of my sister's
I didn't get this off the internet.
Nor did I say anything about a child that was dripping wet, but I suppose HE could have lied to my sister and all. :rolleyes:
