Made me laugh!
Spoke to my sister today who told me a story abut her colleague who has a son with Downs Syndrome.
He was taken to London Zoo with a group and they had to wear yellow workman style jackets to determine who and where they were. Anyway he came back home very wet and then asked if he could take a bath. He was then up there for quite a while and his parents wondered what he was up to. They knocked on the door of the bathroom and when there was no answer they went in and found................................ their son in the bath with a penguin he has nicked from the zoo!!!! She then phoned the zoo to explain that that her son had taken a penguin and was told 'don't worry we get a lot of children taking things' She then had to explain that, no it was not not a toy penguin but a real one! Needless to say they made arrangements to pick it up! Made me laugh anyway.
