Yes, the Aardvark!
This weekend we didn't do anything nearly as classy as going to a symphony. Instead we decided to take advantage of one of the last not exactly warm, but not freezing days left in the year. We went to the zoo. It was one of our better trips. My daughter really wanted to see the giraffes (her favorite) so we waked through the Africa exhibit. All was very cool and interesting until we came to the aardvark. He was in the old meerkat enclosure, so there was only an open Plexiglass barrier between him and us. And look, he's right up front. Let's lean over to get a better...Jumpin' Jehosaphat! That was the worse smell I've ever encountered (and I've changed a LOT of diapers). Who knew the aardvark was such a pungent creature?
