baby cow?

i love my neighborhood.  Tuesday night we went up to the pool for national night out.  there was a petting zoo for the kids (all with baby animals), ice cream truck with free goodies, smoothies from smoothie king, dj, games, bbq, pool party - just tons of fun,

with little miss ear infection, we avoided the actual water but penelope LOVED the petting zoo. her and her buddy peyton just walked all over to visit the baby animals including: calf, piglet, camel, goats, llamas, turtle, chicken, donkey, sheep, bunnies.  all in all - her heaven.  (and her dad was pretty into the baby pig... that thing was precious).

I was talking to penny at bedtime about the animals she saw, asking "did you see a baby goat?", etc.

when i asked, "did you see a baby cow"

she responded (like i was an idiot): "my baby cousin not there".

took me a minute.

the way penny say's calvin is "cowbin".

and she always adds "baby" before his name.

so clearly, i must have been talking about her baby cousin, and how silly was I to think he was there.  she went on to tell me he lives far away, have to take an airplane, etc.  Basically making very clear that i'm an idiot :)

maybe one day she'll get your name right buddy...
