Giraffes Can Save the World!!

Giraffes Can Save the World!! (They’re better than Superman!)

Don’t you just love my title?

This Weekly Random has been brought to you by the letter A.

This is based off a conversation I had with Awesome A at Wal-Mart.

May 3rd, 2011 was Awesome A’s ninth birthday. Since her birthday was on a Tuesday we couldn’t go out to eat because something about it being a school night. SO my mom asked me (More like told) to cook my sister’s birthday dinner. I asked her what she wanted she said her favorite.

Spaghetti burgers. (Spaghetti burgers came about because I really hate it when people copy my actions. Jared does it to me all the time. So I made the first Spaghetti burger just to gross them out but it didn’t work.)

At the house we didn’t have the stuff I needed to cook. So it was off to Wall-Mart (or Wally World as some call it) to get the stuff. Amber came with me, she said it was passed due for me to buy her some candy.

We were halfway done getting all the stuff when she just started talking. I think it was because she wasn’t focused on the candy anymore because it was already in the cart. As we were going up and down different isle Awesome A was telling me everything she knows. And that she knows the answer to the world’s biggest problems. So she is listing off everything she knew. And this is me, ‘uh-huh, yep, amazing, didn’t know that, sure, that’s crazy, you’re so smart.’ I will be ‘B’ and she will be ‘A’!

A: “Do you think one day everyone will be able to talk to each other like animals and stuff?”

B: “No, well maybe Monkeys. We can kinda talk to them already. But it will be millions of years from now.”

A: “I think it would be cool!”

B: “Why?”

A: “Animals know lots of stuff. They could help people.”

B: “Help people with what? If animals could talk I think what they would have to say wouldn’t be interesting to people let alone help us.”

A: “Yeah-huh! They could help with Global Warming. I’m pretty sure they have feelings and ideas about that stuff!”

B: “Really? Which animal would you go to for that? Marcy? I think all she would have to say is ‘It’s about time you got my food.’ (Marcy is our pet dog)

A: “Well Marcy is lazy and selfish. I would go to Giraffes. They can see the bigger picture.”

B: “How?”

A: “Because of the long necks, idiot. With their long necks their eyes are higher up. And when your eyes are higher up you can see more than if you were close to the ground. So they see the bigger picture.”

B: “Wow.”

A: “ I would go to them to fix America’s economy. Because that will then make money for the world and everyone will be happy. And with everyone happy there will be now wars. Just think, Giraffes could save the world.”

B: “Haven’t you every heard of money can’t make you happy?”

A: “That’s stupid! If your broke as a joke wouldn’t a thousand dollars make you happy? If everyone had money they wouldn’t be stressed or worried about paying their bills. That would make me happy. Money can help make people happy. You need to sit under a tree.”

Before I could ask her what in the world she meant by me needing to sit under a tree. Some old lady told me that I had a beautiful daughter and had asked for her name. Awesome A was already telling the woman that her name was Amber like in the song America the Beautiful. You know the part “Amber waves of grain.”

But I really don’t know what that woman was thinking; I don’t look old enough to have fathered a 9 year old. I did ask Amber later what she meant by sitting under a tree. She said she meant what she said. I guess its something she learned from another kid at school.
