I have another memory where I learned about taxes on that trip. I had been given 5$ to buy a souvenir. I found a deer plush that was $4.99 when they told me the total was $5.25 I felt panic for the first time. Luckily one of my teachers was paying attention (it may have been another shopper, but I think it was my teacher) and handed me a quarter. I still have that deer plush over 10 years later.

You know hearing you describe what Bingo went through with the walking leaf made me think of something that happened to me in 2nd or 3rd grade. I went to this place called Land Between The Lakes. It's in Kentucky. It was a field trip. We saw a white buck deer, some wolves, coyotes, and bison and elk. But, I had an experience where I saw a worker there in the Nature Station, that's what they call the snake and other small critter's exhibit. It's indoors and has a gift shop. Anyway. I walked up next to the work who had a Monarch butterfly on the counter. I saw the butterfly not moving and was concerned for the butterfly(I thought they were hurting it, or it was dead or something.) I asked them what they were doing. They were putting a tracking device smaller than the head of a pen on the wing (It was like a sticker if I remember correctly). They were gonna track it's progress on it's migration to Mexico. They then let me release it. I had it on my hand outside, and it sprang awake absurdly quickly and flew off. It made a huge impact on my love of animals, that's for sure. I have wanted to work in the animal field for like, ever. However, life gives me factory work right now. Maybe one day.

Bluey has made me cry multiple times. There is one specific episode I can't wait to see your reaction to. It's later in this season or maybe early in season 2.
