MY FURRY TALES--STORIES FROM 20 YEARS IN THE FUR! #7
16 years ago
Notes by a white lion.
(BLACK AND WHITE GOES WITH EVERYTHING SO NICE)
This isn't a long story, but it's a funny one. It was during the 2005 Christmas season. It's one of those accidental remarks that just make you smile. Or, in particular for me, made me laugh my furry butt off inside my fursuit!
When every December comes along, I mainly do Santa right though Christmas eve and Christmas day. However, the other characters still do go out. As there are still many kid's birthdays In December too, you know. That was the case for this particular weekend afternoon.
It was Saturday, the 17th. I had already done two Santa shows earlier. One from 11am to 12 noon and another from 1pm to 2pm. My third show was to be my Zoe Zebra "playing" "Marty" from the Madagascar movie from 3pm to 4pm. Then, there were two more Santa shows still to be done after that.
It was a typical kids birthday party show. You might say textbook-like in it's operation. Nothing different, unusual or out of the ordinary. I finished up and packed up my things. I bring with me a parachute, a rope for limbo, a tackle box that holds my paints, bubble buckets that the kids can use to blow their own bubbles and a boom box for music. I say my good byes, go through the house and wait just outside the front door to collect a remaining balance for the cost of the show.
The father comes out and pays me and as I accept the money and get ready to leave he smiles and wishes me a "Happy Kwanzaa"!
Ok now, think about it--
What am I--a zebra.
Where do I come from-- Africa.
What other Christmas-time holiday is celebrated by Africans & African-Americans----Kwanzaa!
Makes sense now, doesn't it?
I do have to admit that it had never entered or crossed my mind at the time until he said it. He, of course, couldn't see me under the black and white striped fur. But after about second and a half of the ol' brain "clicking" into gear and realizing what he had just said, I said back in my "Marty" voice: "Why thank ya', thank ya' so very much! That's so nice of yew!" I offered my hoof in a "handshake" and turned around to leave. As I was walking back to my car that was parked around the corner from where the house was, I was laughing long and hard out loud to myself! I just couldn't help but laugh. I was seriously laughing my furry little zebra butt off! And they say kids say the darnedest things...
