terrapin what???!
my nephew franz has been an animal lover since he was old enough to pet things.. er, no double meaning there.. this post is rated G 
at one time, taray needed two frogs for a lab experiment. franz gladly caught them with his bare hands… so for his 5th birthday, i decided to get him a tiny green turtle. it’ll probably die before long; i’m sure franz won’t be content with just looking at it..
the other day, taray threatened franz that we wouldn’t buy him "something" if he kept throwing tantrums… his reply was: "i already know what that something is. it’s a u-v-s-t .. turtle!" kids spell the darndest way! haha!
i brought home the turtle today. it’s sitting as dead as the pebbles in the plastic crib TY put him in.. but just as i proudly showed the turtle to sinus (he’s paying for it; franz is his godson"), he tells me that it’s not even a turtle but a terrapin! don’t make a face just yet - he was just being his usual geeky self. remember the first scene from the movie apocalypto? i swore it was a wild pig those diaper-clad men were chasing after. but no, sinus corrects me with a smirk, it’s a tapir…!
now, if u don’t know what those animals are, i implore you to let me know. it can be comforting to know that i am not alone in my stupidity … hehe..
