I was in and out of the kitchen when I could hear words such as "home", "five", "range from 11 to 9 months." What is he talking about I wonder? When for the previous 24 hours I've heard nothing but snow removal lingo.
The phone call ended. My questions began. Who was that? And what were you talking about?
"Oh it was Mark. He asked where I was, because he thought it sounded like the zoo in the background."
I chose not to be offended."Oh it was Mark. He asked where I was, because he thought it sounded like the zoo in the background."
My house. Five children. Getting ready for church.
Really? I think. A zoo?
And I thought the morning was going quite well.
I've wondered since, how many children does this Mark guy have?
Oh. That's right.
NONE

When I saw this post title and looked at the photo's I tried to put it all together.... of course baby Drew does look like is in a cage (under the chair). Great post, I LOL!!! I think that the "Zooby's" are a pretty lucky family, and I'm sure glad that I know them.
ReplyDeleteOur house sounds like a zoo quite a bit, and we only have two. Besides, zoo's are happy places, right!?
ReplyDeleteI'd be more afraid if it was silent!
ReplyDeleteEveryone gets excited to go to the zoo! It usually means fun family time, togetherness, laughs and memories made.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amiee. I love the picture of Drew. He looks a bit frightened.
ReplyDeleteMy mother would say that she felt like home was one giant wrestling match and she was the referee .... a zoo sounds like a lot more fun than a wrestling match.
ReplyDeleteI was scaredf or a moment - I've always known a "zooby" to be a BYU student. I couldn't imagine what would've happened in your house to have needed a headline like that! :) Oh, a bunch of noisy kids, just a day in the life!
