Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Our class (which

Our class (which sadly is a split class) and the other grade 5 class went to the zoo today! 

 Highlights: THEY HAD PANDAS! Sadly, they weren't giant pandas. They were red pandas (which look suspiciously like lemurs) but they're still cute. There were also Green Masques (also very cute) and we got to pet and feed stingrays! (there were also sharks, but they always stayed in the middle of the pool) There was one who had a cut that was shaped like a V on their fin (humans are so inconsiderate these days) and he liked me! He always came up to me to pet him. And he splashed us. (he got us the most wet, despite the rain today) We also saw Green Masques and an alligator that is probably the size of my catch. (I don't like alligators or crocodiles anymore)

 Badlights: We had to leave a 1:40 and there were three people in my group (including me) and the chaperone, a mother of one of the girls in my group forgot her cellphone in the car, so we had to wait for like 5 minutes and everyone else was already inside the zoo, and when we got inside the zoo, Carly and Charity (Charity is the chaperone's daughter and one of the girls in my group's sister, and Carly is Charity's friend) didn't have tickets (security isn't so good there I guess), and in order to see the stingrays, they had to have tickets, so our chaperone had to go buy tickets for the two of them. That took about ten minutes. (did I mention that Carly and Charity don't go to my school, and that they just tagged along so they could go to the zoo?) But I'm just glad we got to go to the zoo. (we also didn't get to see ostriches, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and penguins, but I don't want to dampen anyone's day by whining some more)  

 Say, has anyone seen and heard Miley Cyrus' new album? The album cover is  *pukes* but the music isn't to bad, just to grown up for Miley. (not to listen, but to sing, it's sort of at a Britney Spears level) Laterz!

It's funny that you went to the zoo today-my siblings and I went yesterday! :) How cool that you got to pet and feed stingrays! :D What was your favorite animal that you saw? My favorite was a large ape with her baby! He was sooo cute! :) Hope the highlights overpowered the badlights! ;)

(I don't listen to Miley Cyrus, so I wouldn't know about her album. :))

They did. :-) I have to say the stingrays and red pandas are tied for the best. ;-) (it's the last day of school for me so our class is in the computer lab for an entire period! huzzah!)

Actually, Olive, red pandas aren't pandas. They're a kind of fox, I think, which is why they are also called firefoxes (the computer doesn't recognize firefoxes as a word!). But they're really cute nonetheless!

Dang, you don't like alligators? My swim team is the Gators.

Wow, that must have been fun!!  Do you know what zoo??  Was it a small local zoo or a big one like the Pittsburgh Zoo??

About Miley Cyrus, yesterday I was at my friend's house, and she wanted to show me the music video for Can't Be Tamed that she's in, and she just scared me.  Blech.  I don't like Miley. :P
