Thursday 11:35 am

[Merlin] How’s the zoo date so far?

[Arthur] Good. Ainsley is having a great time!

[IMG sent: Picture is of four year old Ainsley leaning on a fence as she looks at something]

[Arthur] She’s watching the parrots

[Merlin] Aww! She looks adorable!

[Merlin] Have fun! Keep hydrated, both of you. And don’t give her too much sugar.

[Arthur] I make no promises

[Merlin] Prat. You’re dealing with her sugar meltdown

Thursday 1:03 PM

[Arthur] Help me

[Merlin] ?

[Arthur] She fell in love with the penguins and wants one

[Arthur] She doesn’t understand why I won’t buy a real penguin

[Merlin] brb, dying of laughter

[Arthur] MERLIN. FOCUS

[Arthur] I told her they belong here because it’s too cold for them at home and she’s trying to convince me that she can make her room cold enough.

[Arthur] This child is stubborn

[Merlin] She got that from you

[Arthur] Not helping, sweetheart

[Arthur] You’re the child expert. Help. Me.

[Merlin] Alright, alright. Relax, you cabbagehead.

[Merlin] If i remember right, Most zoos have something where you can ‘adopt’ an animal for a certain price and they give you a certificate saying that you adopted it and a stuffed version of that animal

[Merlin] I’d be shocked if they don’t have that there. Try that

[Arthur] Thank god that worked

[Arthur] Cost £54, but she’s happy and named her penguin ‘Pingu’

[Arthur] Do I have you to thank for showing her ‘Pingu’?

[Merlin] It’s a classic and I showed her culture. You’re welcome

[Arthur] Debatable

[Merlin] I’m filing for divorce. Pingu is amazing

[Arthur] She thinks that penguins go ‘noot noot’ and did that to the poor penguins. Now I know who to blame for that

[Merlin] hahahahahahahahaha. I love her

[Arthur] Dolt
