Nipped by a what??‏


    What would a day at Nexpa be with our a mango smoothie, best in the world, so went and sucked one down.  On our way back we passes a local donkey just hanging out eating grass.  Being donkey fans as we were we stopped for a little chat.  Our first impression was that he was a pretty friendly layed back donkey, so picked some nice green grass to feed him.  Turned out he´d already eaten and wasn’t hungry.  We asked him if he minded being pet and he said no so I pet his ears while Racael pet his face, he appeared to be enjoying it as he was doing the happy donkey lips thing, so Rachael put her hand infront of his mouth, and he began lipping her, she found it amusing so stuck our her finger, which was funny since she always tells me not to do things like that.  Ar first he just donkey lipped her finger which she found very funny and started to laugh at which point the donkey decide he didn’t like people laughing at his lips so he bit her finger.  The lauging seised and Rachael cried out, Help! He´s biting me!  I had no idea what to do, should I smack him in the face, poke him in the eye, kick him in the balls?  What if that made him more angry and he bit her finger off as a result, that could be very bad.  “help!” whe cried out again.  It was obvious she was in a fair amount of pain, she pulled back but the donkey held firm, he had no intention of letting go anytime soon.  Then he wipped his head apparently in an attempt to pull her finger off but she yanked as hard as she could and it poped free.  Rachael looked at me and all I could do was laugh, I actually doubled over with laughter.  Then she started to cry, I hadn´t realized it was that bad, although I don’t think the laughing helped much either.  So I gave her a big hug and we ran to the boys palapa to get some ice for her red swelling finger.
