adventures in schooled kids

Last week the kid and I went to the zoo to see the animals. 
Encounter number 1: 
Schooled Kid A: "LOOK at the tiger!" 
Schooled Kid B: "That's a lion you idiot!"
Schooled Kid C: "A chicken!"
Beach: "Um, actually that's a Seagull."
Group leader: "Hurry up you only have 20 minutes left!" 
Encounter number 2:
Schooled Kid D: "Is that dinosaur real?"
Schooled Kid E: "No of course not. They keep the real ones in cages."
Beach: "You do know that dinosaurs are extinct?"
Schooled Kid E: "No they're not, they are made of rubber."
Schooled Kid C: "A chicken!"
Beach: "No, that's a Peacock"
Group leader: "Hurry up you only have 20 minutes left!" 
Encounter number 3:
Schooled Kid F : "Oh my god sharks!"
Schooled Kid B: "Whales you idiot!" 
Zoo Docent: "Actually these are seals."
Beach laughing too hard to talk.
Encounter number 4:
Schooled Kid C: "Opossum!" 
Beach, under her breath: "Armadillo, but you were close."
Group leader: "Hurry up you only have 20 minutes left!" 
Encounter number 5: 
Schooled Kid G: "Does this zoo have unicorns? I want to see the unicorns."
Group leader: "Let's hurry up here we only have 20 minutes left!" 
Encounter number 6:
Schooled Kid C: "MONKEYS!!!!!"
Beach: "Hey, they finally got one right! Good for them."
Group leader: "Hurry up you only have 20 minutes left!"
Beach: "I see why schooled kids struggle with elapsed time- their adults don't get it either."
