Tortoise Delight

Do you have any idea how much “doo” a giant sea turtle can do? How much tortoise “surprise” it can present to you? You think cow plop is big? Put a cow plop on a pile of “surprise”. You will laugh til tears come into your eyes. In one of those “interactive” animal farms for which Florida is so noted, was a huge sea turtle, it obviously felt bloated. And right in the midst of the path, it nonchalantly deposited a stool. My daughter stepped in the middle of the pool. Wearing sandals no less, this immediately became a job for dear old dad, anything to do with “doo” was my job to be had. It was easy enough to lift her out of the pile, but the sandal was smothered. That’s already too much detail, but it was recovered. Daughter and sandal to the bathroom to remove the tortoise delight. After that, believe me, we avoided zoos outright. © Sept 17 2010 For Barbara's zoo contest
