H & I are leaving for Brazil tonight with my parents, my sister & her boyfriend. Both of my parents are Brazilian and our whole family lives there (they're the only ones who came over 30 years ago).
One of my coworkers just emailed me with "Have a great trip! Be sure to take pictures, I love wildlife! Do you think you'll see anything cool like an elephant?"
What the what?! Yes lady, we will be staying in a treehouse and swinging from vines to get from place to place. ELEPHANTS?!
FFS, we're going to Sao Paulo. Not the Amazon (where elephants do not reside either).
My response was, "No, we're going to a very large city and I do not plan on making a trip to the Sao Paulo Zoo to see elephants."
What's worse is that I work for a HUGE company and one of our HUGE offices is in Sao Paulo, lol.
Re: *headdesk* I work with idiots.
Wave to Tarzan while you're there too.
Have an amazing time! I'm super jealous!

Tarzan is my cousin
I guess it could have been worse and she could have made reference to City of God and "being careful".

I doubt she knows which continent we're on and thinks we speak Spanish in Brazil.
You may be confusing me w/ someone else... I don't have any children yet.

Oh my.
Has someone never heard of African elephants and Indian elephants?
Or is someone just confused about where those places are?
I'm going to stop thinking about this, lest my brain start oozing out my ear.
Wow, what an amazing trip! I hope you have an awesome time!
Your co-worker is an idiot. I hope you told her that no, you wouldn't see any elephants, but you would be stopping by the Great Wall. (head desk indeed!)
