The Escape Goat || {Petting Zoo} || Cadence & Phillip
Phillip was running through the pen, trying to catch a distressed mother hen one way who was squawking and screaming with feathers flying about, trying to catch a toddler who was running and holding a baby chick by the neck the other way, back again to stop the kid from pulling on the donkey's tail before he got kicked in the face and back again to stop the little girl from crying because the pig scared her. Back and forth back and forth. He was half expecting the Chicken Dance to be playing in the background.
Phillip gasped for breath as he shuffled along the petting zoo pen, no amount of previous exercise training could have prepared him for this. Annoyed by the ignorance of some of the little demon children running around, but still determined to do his job, he much resembled the mother hen who had been squawking earlier. He had been ecstatic to get the petting zoo job. He loved kids and he loved animals with a fiery passion, so it was the best combination! Except he forgot that children can be evil. This one kid, Benjamin, refused to listen to anyone about sticking his finger in the cows nose. Obviously the cow did not like it and every time he did it, his finger would come back out covered in cattle mucus and he would make a face like he was going to cry, so obviously he didn't like it. So why did he continue to do it!? The cow was fed up and probably about to whip out it's cow-fu moves and punch the kid in the friggen face with it's huge nose, but Super Phillip raced to the rescue scooped the child up under the armpits.
Benjamin, the little devil, looked as if he were going to cry and scream, so too soothe him, Phillip began swaying the boy around in the air making rocket ship noises. The boy laughed and the teen thought he had satisfied the child and completed his duty, but when he looked up, his face fell as he realized he was now surrounded by screaming youngsters. He had made a grave mistake. They all wanted rocket ship rides.
"Cadence!" he called out, exasperated as he lifted the fifteenth child weakly and made a half assed rocket ship noise. He looked at her with desperate puppy dog eyes. He set the child down and picked up the next one, barely able to pick the kid up off the ground. "Cadence help!" he cried out, looking weak and defeated. "Pshooo! Cadence help me!"
