Hippo Birdies to Button

Remember those old birthday cards that had a hippo and two birds on the front? It said Hippo Birdies! as a variation on Happy Birthday.

This month it actually is Hippo Birdies at Camden's Adventure Aquarium as Button the Hippopotamus is having a birthday. A number of festivities are planned in her honor. There are special events each weekend and you can reserve a "breakfast with the hippos." For details see the Adventure Aquarium website's Button page.

I remember it as a hippo, a bird, and two sheep: 'hippo, birdy, two ewes!" Inside was a drawing of a stampede of hippos running away: "And Many Hippo Returns!"

I sheepishly admit that ewe are correct. It was "hippo, birdy, two ewes." Good eye!
