Lions play hopscotch, too.

Here at Disney, if we do something especially awesome, or a kid says something especially cute, we call it a Magical Moment. I would like to take this time to share my Magical Moment of the day.

Ehm.

I was talking to a little girl about what else she had done today. She had gone to Animal Kingdom and I asked her what animals she had seen. I went through, asking about different animals until I got to the lions. She said she had seen lions, so I asked what the lions were doing.

She said, "I don't really know, but the daddy lion was like, on the mommy lion's back. Or something. Mom, what were they doing again?"

Her aunts immediately started giggling. Her mom said, "Oh. They were.....the lions were uh, playing hopscotch."

The little girl nodded. "Yeah, but I don't know why. I didn't know lions played hopscotch."

I said, "Don't you like hopscotch? Well then, don't you think lions like hopscotch too?"

Her mom then told me that on the safari, the tour guide had directed their attention to the lions before realizing what was going on. One of the other ladies on the safari gasped and cried out, "Oh my gosh, the children!" very dramatically. The tour guide quickly said, "OH! Yes, the lions are....playing hopscotch again. Look at those antelopes!"

So that was my magical moment today :)
