Cutest little kid story ever: 

I went to this program the Museum put on for kids in year 3 in a local primary school for kids in a poorer neighborhood.  They were to make landscapes out of clay, broccoli, aluminum, and oatmeal (porridge!) into a 3D garden.  When I got there, they were mostly done, so a teacher grabbed a little girl called Faith and told here to show me the gardens, which we she proceeded to do.  Then, after she did that, she turned to me and said,

“Where are you from?”

So I told her I was from America.

She thought about that for a minute, and then asked, “Do they have zoos in America?’

I thought this was an odd first question to ask, but hey, she’s a little kid. “Umm, well yeah, they do.  We have one near where I live.”

She thought about that for another moment, then said, “Do you work at the zoo in America?”

I really just didn’t know what to say to that!  It was soo cute—I had to hold in a laugh.  I was about to say no, when I realized my brother did, so I told her that.  The poor little thing probably now thinks that almost everyone in America works in a zoo now--or knows someone who does!
