I won’t grow up, I don’t want to go to school. If growing up means It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up Not me!
It happened! Zoya on the big screen in New York City, Salt Lake City, and Hollywood! Everyone tune in tomorrow at 8/7c on the USA network for #PsychTheMovie!!!!! And keep that side eye out for the #PassThePineapple video featuring my favorite shell-ebrity (yeah I’m biased) Zoya Pants!!!

Mommy showed me that it’s easier to nom the pointy end, but after a few bites, I went back to trying (and failing) to nom the big fat juicy part. Why must nomming be so hard?!
This old video of me trying to nom my first strawberry now has over 100,000 views!! We don’t know why this video suddenly started getting a lot of views this year, but I feel like a YouTube star now! 🎥🌟🍓🐢

The craziest thing happened today. My bridesmaid, Zoya (I swear this is true) would not leave my side. She loved me so hard today. She fell asleep on my shoulder and in my butt area. It was the cutest animal moment!
Its true. Humom was jealous because she would try and move me or show me something but I just wanted to talk to my new cousin and climb aunty. Humom doesn’t smell like the warm safe egg I came from!
In which Zoya gets in big big trouble and has to have a time out.
So! While Zoya was out in the garden this weekend, while we tested out our live streaming Garden Cam, Zoya decieded to show the world (and humom) a new trick. I asked her,
“What are you gonna do now? Who will feed you if you escape”.
In true teen tortoise form she just continued to show me how strong she is till I had to snatch her up and bring her in for a time out. GROUNDED. I’ve added the music I think she hears in her head while she does this. I’m pretty sure she thinks she’s wearing a leather jacket.
