So we made a stop at the local post office today to send out some mail, including the Sea World Busch Gardens tickets I finally managed to sell on eBay. Even though they went for $152.50, after all the stupid eBay fees, Pay Pal’s cut for the credit card payment, and postage, it was closer to $130. Ugh!
The funny thing is that we wanted to buy a book of stamps and the man helping us looked a bit shocked, yet pleased, when Joe asked for the Egret stamps. As if no one could tell what kind of bird that was! Ok, to be fair, I was the one who told Joe “I want the Egret stamps”; he was going to ask for “the white bird stamps”. Of course, I didn’t realize it was the Snowy Egret. Well la-dee-da, aren’t we a fancy bird?! ;)
I’d be interested to see whether Joe’s son knows what it is. I think I’ll quiz him next time he visits. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets it right. He loves those animals. He watches the Discovery Channel and is a proud owner of the World Almanac for Kids.
