Today I took my class on a field trip to a small local zoo. Very small. The only animals they had there were all kinds of exotic birds (but only one each), several Asian cranes, lemurs, alpacas, mule deer, reindeer, 4 Siberian tigers...and I think that was it. But, our school was registered with them, so we got an hour long guided tour, and the sun was out, so we really had a great time. Not one complaint.
Anyway, during the guided tour, we were at the exhibit of the Asian cranes. The guide was explaining the characteristics of the bird, including the fact that there were both male and female birds in the exhibit. As we watched, one of the cranes began this display thing, spreading his wings out wide and just running from one end of the exhibit to the other. All of us adults knew what the crane wanted.
Several of the parents were next to me. "You know," I said, "If we watch much longer, I won't have to teach health this year..."
