I have no idea what a kangaroo has to do with my employer, but they brought in a baby kangaroo for an event, so I waited in line to hold it.

    Sounds like it must’ve been pretty stressful for that poor kangaroo… not you holding it, the entire event

      Perhaps, but she seemed more sleepy than stressed.

      However, I’m willing to trust the handler about what she could handle. I’m also hopeful that they managed to squeeze a sufficient chunk of change out of my employer to make the lives of her and the rest of the kangaroos better.

      Either way, I couldn’t walk past a baby kangaroo without taking a turn.

      Edit: my guess is that since the kangaroo came from a farm that does these sort of things regularly, she’s probably pretty used to it. Over it even, judging from the look on her face.

        That’s nice to hear.

        I couldn’t walk past a baby kangaroo without taking a turn.

        I’d probably do the same if given the opportunity
