Kids Do The Darndest Things!

From one of my co-workers:

"My wife was telling me that a friend of a friend who has a 5 year old took a field trip to the New England Aquarium. After spending some time in the aquarium with the class they noticed that John (I made this up, my wife didn't tell me his name) was missing from the group. After a few frantic moments, John showed up soaking wet. When pried for an answer as to where he was and why he was wet, he did not tell. Needless to say the class went home immediately.

When John and his mother got home, Dad noticed that his backpack was wet too. He opened the bag, get this...a PENGUIN was in it! A real live PENGUIN!!!

When my wife asked why it didn't make the news, she was told that the Aquarium did not want it to get out (excuse the pun).

My wife would not have believed it at first if it wasn't for the friend that this happened to."

Makes you rethink taking your family to the Aquarium doesn't it.

Alternate quip: Gives new meaning to the march of the penguins.
