Ask the Hippo

Sometimes you just look at the guy and remember he’s a human being that will grow up to have his own dreams and adventures, disappointments and outrageous successes.  Other times that is overwhelming, you cannot understand the future but just see the present moment, the smile or the sleep or the tears and wonder what is going on in the brain that very moment.
