Oskar, Mum and I went to the Zoo on Monday. I was pleased when I saw where we were but it didn't turn out quite the way I would have liked. I sat in the jogger while Oskar ran about the place. We'd stop at a cage, I'd search around for whatever was supposed to be in there and by the time I'd found it, Oskar was already halfway down the path so Mum would drag me away. Plus it took Mum a while to realise that since I was in the jogger my head was at exactly fence height, and the fence had a big, fat pole that blocked my view. We were sitting next to this enclosure and Mum was raving about the kangaroos and how they looked like Skippy, and then she squatted down next to me and said, 'Oh, you can't see anything, can you?'. Well, NO! I couldn't.

Mum let me out of the jogger and I was glad for my freedom and thought a little payback was in order. Oskar and Mum started walking up the path to the penguins but I stood on the spot and bounced up and down with a little arm waggle and said, 'Mmmmm mmmmm'. They said, 'Come on, Jaz, let's go this way', and I bounced up and down a couple more times before turning around and hightailing it in the other direction. Mum chased me and took my hand to lead me up the path, but I twisted out of her grip and ran off over the grass. She chased me down again and put me back in the jogger.

I sulked and was quiet for a while but was happy when I was let out again for some afternoon tea. We had some fruit and yummy shortbread biscuits while watching the little birds jump around us.

One thing that bugged me was that Oskar kept trying to kiss me and hug me and hold my hand each time I got out of the jogger. He drove me crazy so I pushed him in the face and yanked my hand away and squealed a bit. He was such a pest. I just wasn't in the mood. But he was kind of cute in the Zoo shop because he ran around, picked out all sorts of toys and gave them to me to play with. I got in a little hug with each animal before Mum took it from me and put it back where Oskar got it from. She did buy me a little Lion, so that was something.
