The Joy of Ordinary

Jack’s Infamous Hungry Cranky Butt Incident

I scrapbooked an infamous moment in history this week. . . . I’ll share the story via copying the journaling:

“Cody and I knew better.  We’ll never forget the time we went with Jack to Brenham- the bottle warmer incident and oh how he cried.  At that time, we thought poor thing is hungry.  This time, not so much.  We had a goal in mind- for Jack to get to eat while watching the Giraffes at the Caldwel Zoo.  But, it meant we waited too long to get some food in him.  Out came hungry-cranky butt.  It didn’t help that the flies kept buzzing his head. He made us pay for making him wait to eat.  And, of course, he never really understood why- the giraffes for some strange reason weren’t out in the area that the food court overlooks.  All he knew was that he was hungry and flies wouldn’t leave him alone. After eating, petting a few animals and taking some pictures with my new DSLR camera, he was fine again. And we enjoyed the rest of our day at the zoo.  Now, we talk about the Hungry Cranky Butt episode at the zoo.  It’s been a chance to learn about how emotions and being hungry can be tied together.  In fact, we were able to laugh about it together at the Oklahoma City Zoo last year because we thought we’d be home free- their food court was indoors.  We joked about how we were eating early enough for no Hungry Cranky Butt at the zoo- especially because the flies shouldn’t bother us.  And they didn’t- most of the time.  The Caldwell Hungry Cranky Incident proves sometimes we all just lose it.”

And it probably doesn’t help that his Aunt is a scrapbooker and had the camera in his face either. . . wouldn’t you think!
