642 Things to Write About


642 Things to Write About

Your friend calls to say she saw you in the back of a police car yesterday.  What happened?

I stole a penguin.  He was overly friendly and wouldn't leave me alone.  After trailing me around the zoo all afternoon, I guess I got attached.  I was pushing a stroller that had no rider, so as I neared the exit, I set fruit snacks and Cheese-Its in the seat and coxed the little guy in.  We made it to the car.  I lifted him into the car seat in the van and strapped him right in.  He didn't put up a fight, cooperating as best he could.  I don't know why strangers get so nosy but apparently a zoo official was tipped off.  I pretended to be surprised that the penguin wasn't Noah, but to no avail, I was detained....in the back of a police car.
