Sometimes you need to relish the real world....

We had the best day today! Shopping and lunch in East Nashville, afternoon at the Zoo...literally we're leaving as they were closing up! Such a great day! And I didn't think about the Orange bafoon one time,lol! Also, we adopted a white rhino, because my son was adamant we do that!

Enjoy that family time and build those memories. And the escape from the Orange One. Hope you took some pictures to look back on someday.

It was incredible!

The zoo was phenomenal, mainly because it was a nice spring day and the first non-rainy day we've had in days! We loved the meerkats and the red pandas, but my dudes' favorite was the rhinos!

Where ya gonna keep it? Dig a pit in the living room?

AND NO FLUSHING IT DOWN THE TOILET!

The last thing we need is Rhino's roaming the sewers, for fucks sake.

Sometimes ya just hafta say "NO!" to the kid.
