Ding Ding Ding Ding Bshhh....

Well, we din want to give up nor did we wanted to waste our Friends Of The Zoo Membership and so we made another attempt to go to the zoo...

Alas, Ace got quite a shock and kept crying and saying, "I don't want this playground, I don't like this playground..."

What happened was that there is this Elephant pail at the top of the playground and every 4 min, there will be a ringing sound and after that the water will splash down. Because that was our first time there, we were not aware of this and it caught all of us by a surprise.. even I was a little scared of it...

And after that, as long as there is water flying towards Ace, he would cry and cry...The strange thing was that he would come home he would sit by himself and say, "Ding ding ding ding bshhhhh..." I asked him what he was doing and he told me, "I am the elephant playground..." and he would giggle.

Subsequently, he would get all enthusiastic about waking up and taking his bath whenever I asked him if he wanted to play the elephant playground game. He uses a pail and fills it with water and goes "Ding ding ding ding.. bshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"and splashes all the water over his head...

Anyway, just to help him overcome his fear, we told him that the next time we went to the zoo, if he stood under the water fall when the pail gets overturned twice, we would buy him a cake :) hahaha..
