I have no idea what a kangaroo has to do with my employer, but they brought in a baby kangaroo for an event, so I waited in line to hold it.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Sounds like it must've been pretty stressful for that poor kangaroo... not you holding it, the entire event
Perhaps, but she seemed more sleepy than stressed.
However, I'm willing to trust the handler about what she could handle. I'm also hopeful that they managed to squeeze a sufficient chunk of change out of my employer to make the lives of her and the rest of the kangaroos better.
Either way, I couldn't walk past a baby kangaroo without taking a turn.
Edit: my guess is that since the kangaroo came from a farm that does these sort of things regularly, she's probably pretty used to it. Over it even, judging from the look on her face.
That's nice to hear.

I'd probably do the same if given the opportunity
Look at these guys, taking turns on a baby kangaroo. How wholesome
Omg is that you holding it? This is adorable!
Yep.
Sir, this is a joey
It's in Philadelphia. You're lucky you got baby kangaroo.
In that case, this is a jawny.
They don't fit in backpacks. Only in frontpacks.
