Hippie Lunch with the Littlest Intern

Today the keeper worked from home, writing, phoning, writing, phoning. But she left us for lunch at a hippie vegetarian cafe with her friends J and L, whom she misses a lot.  She has known L since before he was born and was amazed to see how much he had grown since summer. He now can hurl spoons and amaranth across a restaurant, he can make points using ASL, and can push a high chair from one end of the restaurant to another. He has learned a lot since he left the keeper's office. They tipped the server a little more for the janitorial services which would be needed after they left. When she returned she told us she thought we were pretty tidy eaters by comparison.
