Flamingo Fun by Lesley Whyte

"Flamingo. Definitely a flamingo."

"Really? Why?"

"'Cause they can fly and breathe underwater. You can't beat that."

"What are you talking about? Flamingos can't fly."

"No, it's penguins that can't fly."

"I'm telling you, flamingos can't either. And I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think they live under the water either. I think they just like being near it."

"You're getting all wrong. Flamingos can swim and fly. God."

"Look, I'm not being funny, but they can't do either. And you-"

"Fine, fuck it, I'd be a penguin and flamingo hybrid. I'd be a pink penguin. What kind of stupid fucking question is it anyway? What would you be?"

"Dog, probably."

"Huh. I like dogs."

"Yeah, me, too."
