    One day many many years ago in Flamingoland a young boy (OHs nephew) and his family went for a day out at Flamingoland. Anyway later in the afternoon, the mother realised that the young boy had gone missing. The family looked for the boy for the best part of an hour before they alerted park security. Park security starated searching as well and about 90 minutes after he had gone missing he was found in the penguin enclosure; he had been playing with them and swimming in the water and everything. Anyway the mother was quite relieved to find him but also quite mad at him so she shouted at him, smacked his backside and the day was cut short and they went home. At home, they put him in the bath and her and her husband sat downstairs talking about the day, laughing at what had happened and I suppose quite relieved as well. Anyway, the mother heard some strange noises coming from the bathroom. So she went upstairs, hearing her son laughing and making some funny noises. She opened the bathroom door and she saw her son and a baby penguin sat in the bath and they was playing. Now needless to say she was shocked but at the same time she couldnt believe what she was seeing. She phone Flamingoland and told them that one of their baby pengiuns was sat in her bath with her son. They laughed, hung up. She phoned back and reiterated what she had said and told them to check their penguins and sure enough they accepted that their missing baby penguin was probably indeed sat in her bath. Anyway as it turns out, the boy had picked up a baby penguin when he was playing in the pool with them, put it in his back pack and when mother found out and decided that they should go home, she bundled his backpack into the boot with the rest of the luggage. What a story eh
