Some Things that Happened Today

I went to the zoo and saw a hippo.

The hippo said, "You know, from my perspective, I'm watching you."

I said, "Yeah, I know, but I was just hoping to make a friend."

The hippo unlatched its cage and invited me in. We went swimming in the hippo's pool. Afterwards we laid out in the sun to dry off.

I said, "I like your place."

The hippo said, "Do you want to be roommates?"

I said, "Okay."
