From our Cape Cod vacation last month...
Sarita loves her sea creatures. When she spied a girl eating a lobster lollipop walking to the mudflats outside the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, she was more fascinated with that than the scenery, raising the subject every two minutes. We promised, "You can have one later." I would have let it go, but "later" came when she fell off a stair whilst peering into a fish tank in the museum. I didn't even see it happen. The museum folks rushed to the scene with an ice pack for her noggin and Ragav came to the rescue with a lobster lollipop. Drama over. For Sarita anyway.
The one-sided conversation that ensued between Sarita and her lobster (that I regrettably missed due to a visit to the loo) is the highlight of this story. I was unsuccessful at creating the replay on video.
Sarita to her lobster lollipop...
Hello lobster.
How are you?
I'm fine.
I am going to eat you now.
Goodbye.
Poor guy had no chance.
The museum trip was a hit. Sarita looked at the birds through the bee-noculars (as she calls them). She observed shells under the magnifying glass. We all enjoyed watching the various sea creatures in the tide pool and we even managed to find the queen bee in the bee exhibit. When asked that evening what she liked best, Sarita responded with "the toadfish" (a rather ugly looking thing that caught her attention). Poor lobster was long forgotten.
