On sleepiness and apes

I had an idea for my post today, but I'm getting to my blog so late tonight that I'm too tired to think, much less write intelligently. I decided to post a bit of writing I did in March, another one of my 100 words exercises. I feel like I'm cheating on my blog by posting something I've already written, but here it is:

We took our kids to the zoo yesterday. It was beautiful, sunny and warm, and the kids were thrilled to be out after having been cooped up indoors for so long. I didn't want to go, but I'm glad I did; being there provided another opportunity to learn to see life through a child's eyes. When I see an ape, I might smile, but when my kids see it, they exclaim and giggle; their voices rise in excitement, their awe genuine, and their emotion doesn't embarrass them. They teach me every day about the purest way of seeing this world.
