Long overdue post

No long winded apologies. Just a post.


Yesterday, we took Oliver to the zoo with my brother-in-law, his girlfriend, and her daughter. We literally turned around for one second at one point, and when we looked back, Oliver had fed a giraffe something of unknown origin. We shouted, "What did you do, Oliver?!" And we heard a mumbled "Giraffes eat rocks!". We screamed and looked up in horror as the giraffe struggled with the surprisingly difficult-to-chew 'leaf'. We waited, knowing we didn't have time to get help, hoping that the giraffe would develop a distaste for rocks, and sure enough about 30 of the longest seconds ever, the giraffe managed to spit the rock out from 20 feet in the air. Thank god!
