How To Get Kicked Out of The Zoo

Take your family to the zoo.   Make sure kids and husband look cute as to not arouse suspicion. 

 Locate Meerkat exhibit.

 

Pick the sweetest looking Meerkat.

Now here is where it gets tricky.   In your left hand, hold your lens cap to your camera.

Take pointy stick from 6 year old.  Hold souvenirs from 8 year old.  Hold Camera in your right hand.  

Lean over wall barrier of Meerkat exhibit to get the best possible shot.

Have husband trip and bump into you while hanging over wall.

Watch helplessly as lens cap sails over into exhibit and bonk innocent meerkat on head.

Sheepishly approach zoo keeper to report incident. 

She really did tell me, "you know you aren't supposed to throw things in the exhibit."

Really?

She had to wrestle the meerkats for the lens cap.  I am not sure, but they looked like they could use a Xanax.

Disclaimer: no lens caps were injured in the filming of this episode of places Sudie has been kicked out of.

That is a hoot. I am glad you had the guts to confront the zoo keeper. We may have exited the exhibit discreetly and ran for the car.

[Glenda Hart]

That is classic. We have had flip flops come off and go into exhibits but never hit an animal in the process. Too funny for words.

HAHAHAHAHA! That's funny!

[NancyJones]

[sunshine.shadows]

How embarrassing. That would happen to me.

Hee-hee! I don't know if I would've had the courage to say something to the zookeeper. So did she think you threw it in there to get the meerkats to throw it back?!?

[Sudie]

LOL I am not sure! just crazy. She's been hanging out with those meerkats for company too long, I think.
