An Introduction to Zoology

The family was watching a nature documentary the other day. The narration was provided by James Earl Jones, but the following commentary, while less educational, was eminently more entertaining.

My daughter: What's that?
My husband: An elephant.
My daughter: I don't like elephants. They smell like penguins.
Me: They smell like penguins??
My daughter (nodding): They smell like penguins.


My daughter: What are those?
My husband: Those are zebras.
My daughter: I don't like zebras. They smell like elephants.


My daughter: What's that?
My husband: A water buffalo.
My daughter: I like water buffalo.


My daughter: What's that?
My husband: Hyenas.
My daughter: I don't like hyenas. They sound like penguins.


My husband: What did you like about the water buffalo?
My daughter: They smell like lions or something.
