The next day, Saturday, Bets called the other girls on her cellphone, hitting all the buttons to make it a conference call.
"I had this great idea when I woke up today," said Bets. "Let's go to the zoo!"
"Get out!" said Chastity. "I've been thinking about the zoo today, too!"
"Make that three of us," said Diane.
"Four!" said April. "Like, y'know, this is SO weird!"
"Tell me about it!" said Bets. "I always thought that the children's zoo was real kiddie stuff, and totally boring! But now, I just can't wait to see all those cute little animals!"
"I wanna go in the farm section! Where we can feed the goats and sheep and ... "
"Me, too! Meet you all at the bus stop in half an hour?"
The others agreed. And, within the hour, the four friends were walking through the turnstile at the Children's Zoo.
