Dear Teacher,

Please excuse Colin from school today. We had a little family field trip.

He got to meet some lions.

He learned a few things about lorikeets

(like, don't let them land on you)


He learned how NOT to feed a giraffe,


and he met a wise, elderly tortoise, who whispered some Old World secrets in his ear.

It was a successful day.
I'm sure you will agree, there are some things that you just can't learn in school.


Sincerely,
Colin's mommy


PS. Can you let Mr. President know that I think the school days are long enough already? Thanks.
