Weird quotes we heard at the zoo today

I took my kids to the zoo today. As always, we are entertained by the things other people say. Here are few gems I wanted to share with you... And as a reminder, these are adults talking...

Looking at a week old, white baby Colubus monkey,
"He looks like an alien" said a lady in her rhinestone-studded shirt, sunglasses, and yappin on her cell phone.

Also while watching the baby Colubus monkey, "Look, the dad is eating lice of the baby". Okay I know that it is a monkey instinct, but that baby was too cute and too protected by it's mom to have lice. LOL

All through the Great Ape building - adult after adult
"Oh look at the cute monkey!" Sorry folks, but there wasn't a monkey in that whole building.

In an animal building "It smells in here" - well duh, you're at the zoo! LOL

Also, there were swans being called geese and a tortoise called a turtle.

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but I always want my kids to sound intelligent when they speak, so we all read the signs and learn what animal we're looking at. It was a lot of fun and we just smile and enjoy the sights and sounds at the zoo.
