Maile Returns to New York, Part 2: Where the Wild Things Are

by Maile Girl on April 11, 2011

Maile Girl here. I’m having a great time in New York City with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Papa. However, two things are kind of bothering me. First, we were just walking down the street and all of a sudden there was this huge Elmo! I mean he was HUGE! Elmo is this little red guy that lives inside the iPad, but in New York, he’s this huge, scary, red man that jumps around on the sidewalk outside of Macy’s.

Daddy, get me out of here. RIGHT NOW! Go Daddy, go! The big red Elmo is coming for us...

Mommy, it was horrible. What was that thing?

Second, Grandma and Papa were all excited to take me to the zoo. There is one right in the middle of the city in Central Park. The park itself seemed pretty cool, but the zoo … well, I’m not a fan. Actually, let me be more clear to my friends: if anyone tells you they want to take you to the zoo, RUN AWAY as fast as your legs will take you. Seriously, fast feet all the way home. There are just these crazy animals all over the place – and they aren’t even on leashes or anything. You could get eaten. I’m pretty sure.

Dad note: This is pretty much the only picture Grandma and Papa came back with of Maile at the zoo. I think it pretty much sums up her opinion of the zoo - clearly did not go as smoothly as the art museum trip from last week...
