"Hi, yes. My name is Toriana Ibanez, and I rented out a time slot for two-thirty pee-em to four-thirty pee-em for tomorrow. I was just making sure everything was okay with that."
My mom was on the phone with Zoo Miami, making sure our reservation were still being held.
"Okay, perfect. Thank you. Okay, see you tomorrow. You too. Bye-bye." Ending the call, she turned to Kenz and I. "Okay, we're good to go."
I clapped my hands together. "Perfect."
When my mom asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I told her I wanted to go to a zoo and interact with the animals. Not just see them in cages, actually pet them, feed them, be in a cage with them, hold them, all of that.
It was a lot of money, but she got it done for me. I was so grateful, and to say I was excited for tomorrow was a complete understatement.
Although I hated zoos, because they kept animals locked away in cages, I felt that maybe visiting one and being able to interact with the animals, inside and outside of the cages, it would make me feel a little better about how they're being treated there.
As a child, I would always see videos and news stories about animals being abused and treated as toys in zoos. Ever since then, I hated zoos.
I used to say I wanted to become president so I could free all the animals from zoos.
"Ma, tell Dri to text Angel and tell him happy birthday."
"Oh his birthday is today, isn't it?"
I nodded. "Mhm."
"And yours is tomorrow. You know your dad and I shared a birthday that was just a day apart too. Isn't that cute, Kenz?"
I rolled my eyes.
"It's adorable." McKenzie cooed, not making the conversation any better.
"Maybe you should just send him a quick happy birthday text." My mom suggested, causing me to quickly shake my head.
