We had a lovely outing at the zoo today, but I was shocked and somewhat alarmed by the small comment that seemed to stick with Jonah throughout the visit and back home.
During our visit, I casually read a sign about a baby kangaroo, who's mother wasn't caring for it in the wild, so they are acclimating it to life at the zoo. A few hours later Jonah asked to go back to see it. And at dinner it was the one thing he told Dad about his trip.
I can only image how traumatic the idea would be to a small child, to be abandoned by his mother! I hope it doesn't cause poor Jonah distress to have this thought in his very impressionable brain.
