Silly Mommy

la_rainetteWe took Papy to the Royal Ontario Museum yesterday. Papy went to see stuff for grown-ups (no, perverts, not that kind of stuff. I mean stuff that bores little ones. Though they are said to have a special, racy exhibit on Valentine's day). Froglet was in school, so I let Tadpole decide what she wanted to do (it's the place where we hang out most when the weather isn't good enough for the zoo).
Sure enough, we ended up at the biodiversity area (more animals, most of them stuffed. And I wish they'd stuff the giant cockroaches, too, they're incredibly ew. "Tadpole, what's this?" I asked, pointing to the ghastly things. "EW!" Tadpole replied with predictable glee. Well, yes, that pretty much sums it up.)
Then she decided she wanted me to try on the wet suit that was on disply with a big "Try Me On" sign. So, I did. And I mean, it's not even as if I haven't read "Alice in Wonderland". I really should know better. It did seem a bit tight, but I still did put it on.
And was stuck.
"Tadpole", I hissed, "pull the sleeve! the sleeve! Not, not my hand, the sleeve!" and then I got the giggles, and Tadpole got the giggles too (she didn't quite know why, but I was laughing, so she laughed) and a stern young woman came over and said: "That wet suit is meant for kids, you know."
Ah! Well, that certainly explains it. Now, could you please get me out of this here straightjacket? Coz I'm, you know. Stuck.
:D Silly mommy, as Froglet would say.
