the field trip

john's class had a field trip today. they went to atlantic farms in manasquan to feed the animals. when we picked him up from school today, we asked him what happened on the trip. he said "we fed the animals." we asked him what he fed the animals and he said "carrots." daddy and i had to stir the pot. so we started naming all kinds of animals that would not be on a farm. we said, you must have fed the elephants. "no! elephants don't live on a farm!" i said, he fed the monkeys, they like carrots. "no mommy, monkeys eat bananas!" daddy said, maybe he fed the horses, cows and the orangutan. "daddy, what's an orangutan?" daddy says, a big monkey. john replies, "no daddy they eat big bananas." got to love his logic. we did finally get some information out of him. they fed a horse, goats, sheep and a pig. he told me, "i didn't feed the pig. he was in the mud. so i just throwed him the carrots."
