However, it has been decided by the False Boss (Josh's name for Allie; I'm the Boss, so she's the False Boss) that this is a good day to go to the zoo, and I'm obligated to fill the role of "fun-loving Dad" as no one else is around to volunteer for it. The conversation started as a "suggestion" last night, but quickly digressed when she woke up this morning from, "Do you want to go or not?" to, "If you can manage it, I think we should go."
NUDGE!
Boy howdy, am I thrilled. Yay, even.
