Goons and sloths

Our neighbor has this sloth for a pet. It's official name is a slow loris, and if you Google it you will see it's endangered. I don't know why she bought it, it's stinky and weird and has poison on its elbows. But she did, so we're helping her keep it alive. They have a high mortality rate in captivity, so Jeremy's made it his goal to keep the poor sloth alive longer than a month. We're almost there! Caleb likes to feed it bananas, and it's a good distraction from being naughty. When he gets that glint in his eye like he's about to do something crazy, we just say, Hey, take Gus-Gus a banana. It works!

Nate's sloth impression. How is it that he can fall asleep while eating but can't stay asleep in the middle of the night?

Goon diapers. They also make Goon Supreme diapers, but those cost as much as Pampers. Turns out the Pampers are worth the extra money, because the Goons just don't do the job very well. But they gave us a good laugh. There's also a brand called Peemo, but I'm less than confident those will be any better than the Goons.
