Z – Zebra Confusion
Z – Zebra Confusion
Babai: Daddy, are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
Dad: (smiling) What do you think?
Babai: (shaking head) I think they’re very much like fancy horses with painted decoration.
Dad: Fancy horses? Is it so?
Babai: Yes! Like horses that went to fashion school. Maybe they couldn’t choose between wearing a black tuxedo or a white one, so they wore both!
Dad: That’s what makes a lot of sense. They probably have striped pajamas too.
Babai: And striped socks! And striped toothbrushes!
Dad: Now I’m picturing a zebra brushing its teeth in front of a mirror saying, “Looking sharp, Zeke!”
Babai: Zeke the Zebra! He probably works as a runway model in the jungle. His best friend is Larry the Leopard, who’s jealous because polka dots are out this season.
Dad: Aw, poor Larry. Fashion is heartless.
Babai: And when zebras attend school, the teacher can never distinguish between them because they all appear the same!
Dad: That’s why they have name tags. “Hi, my name is Stripey McHoof.”
Babai: (laughing) What if it rains and their stripes get washed off?
Dad:
Babai: Whoa. Mind. Blown.
Dad: And that, my dear, is the mystery of the zebra. Are they black with white stripes? White with black stripes? Or undercover ponies with a sense of drama?
Babai: Well Papa I think that they are most certainly undercover ponies. Quite fashionable ones. You can name them Fashionistas.
