Children love tormenting me. I am a very tormentable adult.
I just spent the last half hour talking to four children who kept asking if I was 79 years old, if I had ever been attacked by pirates, if I had ever gotten married to a pirate, if I’d ever been eaten by a dinosaur, if I knew that I was a big ugly green alien, and if they could turn me into “a whoopie deflated cushion”. And then they competed to see who could scream it the loudest.
clarification: I’m not complaining, this is affectionate tormenting from children who enjoy my presence, not children trying to make me unhappy
we’ve started feeding this tortoiseshell-point siamese recently. she’s beautiful, aside from the fact she has disturbingly big, bulging blue eyes. we’ve started calling her… ‘goop’
it’s goop!
GUESS WHO HAD GOOPLETS! SIX ENTIRE BABIES! mama goop held onto her gooplings for an entire week longer than she had to, so the gooplitos came out very well done and fluffy!!
Some very beautiful African giant toads [Amietophrynus superciliaris] having a productive day. This species has a widespread range in Africa, but interestingly enough has multiple areas of high occupancy all separate from one another, raising speculation to whether its actually one species or part of a complex of multiple species and subspecies whose ranges often overlap.
