The big white one.....

Have you ever had a moment in a conversation where you think what you said was clear but, to everyone listening you just seem crazy???

let me fill you in.
So, I was watching Animal Planet and the show was "growing up polar bear".
For those of you that are unfamiliar: it's a show about orphaned animals adopted and raised by loving zoo keepers/farms/etc... (depending upon the animal of course) They show the growing up process and at the end they either 1) release the animal back to the wild, or 2) find it a permanent sanctuary or zoo to live in.

Okay, so in the case of the polar bear he was going to be in a fantastic zoo in Canada AND even better there were two female, sister, orphaned polar bears coming to share the same enclosure at the zoo. The hope was that they would mate since polar bears are near extinction.

So, Blake and I are watching them finally be release into the beautiful enclosure.

**** remember their are
3 polar bears all released at the same time******

our conversation goes like this:
S: "wow that is so awesome and look how big he's gotten!"
B: "yeah, it would be cool to have a pet polar bear"
S: "yeah, until it attacked you"
B: "Yeah, that would suck"
S: (having lost track of who was who during the release to the enclosure)
"which one is he?"
B: "the Big white one"

JUST LIKE THAT!!! now, I about died laughing.. he kept a straight face and had no idea what was so funny....
Come on. THREE polar bears and I am supposed to know which one is the boy by the description
"the big white one"...
So funny and please remember my hubby is an engineer with a Masters degree in Nuclear engineering... (meaning, he's no dummy)
ahhhhh, life's little joys!!!!
