Cassowary on the loose

Hold onto your seats Virtual Friends, we had quite an adventure today...
Alex and I went to the Denver Zoo today. There were certain animals that we really wanted to see, Hyenas, Snow Leopard, Hippos, and George the Rhino. After a successful viewing of the Hyenas, we headed toward the Pachyderms. A Security Guard stopped us (along with hundreds of other people) to tell us that there is a "situation that is being handled, but the rest of the park is closed". We continued on our way, when we saw another Security Guard, and I asked her if there was an animal on the loose. She told us it was a Cassowary, which she described as an "Ostrich that's been sippin' on the Hatoraide."

Obviously, I couldn't wait to explain this to Alex. And once she finally understood what was happening, she almost came out of her skin with excitement!!!!!

She told an entire crowd of people that "...a Cassowary is on the loose, he got out of his cage, and he's on the loose." Then she would walk up to the Zoo Security Guard and point to her and say, "AND SHE IS KEEPING US SAFE. SHE IS KEEPING US SAFE."

She would repeat this story, for all who would listen, OVER AND OVER AND OVER. It was hilarious.
