Please Take Us to the Zoo

I went to the zoo with some friends, so I had the title stuck in my head a good part of the day. It's part of a script for a listening and speaking test I give fairly often. I figured if I have to endure that phrase repeatedly, I might as well entertain myself with it, and I don't do remixes. I lack the rhythm and musical ability.

Okay, the story. I saw a little guy with a Pokemon balloon and as is the routine I made funny faces. As is the routine for Korean children, he stared at the strange white man.

I walked up to him and softly punched the balloon.

He stepped slowly back, then ran downhill to find mom.

The Korean college students with us laughed and said, "Omah (Mom)!"

International incident, here I come.
