So, I guess I left out the most important part of our zoo trip-at least according to my son(nearly five) and my boyfriend(twenty seven and still thinking like a kid).

So, we were hanging out with the gorillas. A big ol' mama was attempting to take a nap whilst her frolicking young'un annoyed the heck out of her. Pulling the burlap sack blanket out from under her and trying to get her to play peekaboo underneath it. So she reaches out one humongous hand and simply lays it on the kids tummy effectively pinning the squirmy little guy to the ground. Still she gets little handy feet pushing all over her face-no rest for the mama, much to the amused sympathy of us handful of human mamas on the other side of the glass partitions with OUR little squirmy charges. So she rolls over onto her belly and turns her back.

Well, that's when the cute little gorilla baby really got busy. We couldn't believe our eyes. Those curious little baby fingers reached right into his mama's butt and pulled out-well, you know what comes out of a gorillas butt don'tcha? Apparently, it looked kinda tasty too, 'cause, yeah, you guessed it, plop! Right into that lil mouth. MMmmmm, mama poop...

Sam was so transported with delight by this he immediately immortalized it in song: "poop, poop, eating poop, poop. He likes it, he likes it, eating mama poop!"

And of course everyone had to hear all about it for the rest of the day.
