Speaker 1
The zoo I work at is having a buy-one-get-one ticket day! You should take your family.
Speaker 2
I would love to do that. How do I get that deal. Do I need to buy online or go to the zoo gate in person and get it. How long does the deal last. A lot of questions. Sorry.
Speaker 1
That is ok.You can buy online. What are the genre of you 3 kids? Girls pay less
Speaker 2
Thanks for the info. I have 2 girls and a boy. I was just curious to know that you had a bearded dragon. What is a bearded dragon. Is it big and can it be a pet.
Speaker 1
A bearded dragon is a type of lizard. You should bring over you kids and husband to meet my Dragon. They can also ride my 2 mustangs.Beingsingle is lonely sometimes.
Speaker 2
I will take you up on that. Our whole family would love that experience. It was so kind of you to make that invite. What days would be best for you for I know you work at the zoo.
Speaker 1
I have a free day on Mondays.
Speaker 2
I will talk to my husband and will figure out when to visit. I will definitely keep you informed well in advance. Let us cook and bring some food for you. We can have a sort of a picnic lunch. That would be awesome.
Speaker 1
Great!! Mayeb you can show me your writtings. I heard you write fabulous children's books
Speaker 2
They are good not fabulous. I will show you a few that I have written lately. Maybe I can get some inspiration from the animals to add to my future books.
Speaker 1
My 2 horses for sure will inspire you. They are just gorgeous!! Tall and strong.
Speaker 2
Do your mustangs have names. I am sure they will be a great idea to add them to my theme. Maybe we will all fall in love with them when we see them.

Speaker 2
I love the zoo. Cats are my favorite animal. I write children's books. I have a husband. I have three children, 2 girls and a boy.
Speaker 1
That would be lovely. Have any of your children's books been published?
Speaker 2
Only one. It was inspired by my son's attachment to his favorite blanket. I'm unable to write as often as I want to as my children are keeping me occupied.
Speaker 1
That's amazing! Do you have pets?
Speaker 2
I want to. But my husband and I agree that we will wait until our children a little bit older before adopting pet (or pets) into our house. Is it hard to have a bearded dragon as a pet?
Speaker 1
That is completely understandable and very responsible as well. Not as hard as you might think, there is a lot to know but once you take care of one for a short while, you will understand its needs quite easily!
Speaker 2
My husband said we should consider having snakes as pet since they need far lower maintenance compared to cats or dogs. I honestly have mixed feelings about reptiles. What do you feed your dragon?
Speaker 1
Snakes can indeed be low maintenance, you can feed one and it wont need to be fed again for a whole week! The bearded dragons diet is slightly different, as with any creature you want a diverse selection of food to promote good health and ensure they're receiving proper vitamins. They mostly eat a large variety of different insects of varying sizes
Speaker 2
Wow! I didn't know bearded dragons' diet are insects. I have overly wild imaginations about their food. I saw my brother in law's pet snake eat a mouse and got a little traumatized. 
Speaker 1
Yes, infact some smaller snakes mostly eat insects as well as they arent large enough to eat a mouse, even if its a baby mouse!
Speaker 2
This is really interesting, I was too stereotyping toward those reptiles. I'm now tempted to write about this as a children's book.

I love the zoo. Cats are my favorite animal. I write children's books. I have a husband. I have three children, 2 girls and a boy. I have published only one children's book yet. I want to have a pet.

I want  to write about this as a children's book.
Speaker 1
So how is it going with your new book about reptiles?
Speaker 2
I am still in the research phase of the project.  I think it is going slower than my usual projects because I'm a little creeped out by reptiles...lol.  A bearded dragon sounds kind of cool, though.  What are they like as pets?
Speaker 1
Well, since they're reptiles, you can just keep them in an aquarium. Very easy to lost track of if you let them roam around. All in all, pretty low maintenance. Maybe your book idea could desensitize kids to reptiles! 
Speaker 2
Wow.  That would be a really good concept to consider as I write the book.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Maybe it will help me too...lol!  So is the raccoon a pet too?  I think they are so cute, but can't they be really mean?
Speaker 1
Well, the book idea was yours. I can see how that experience would be traumatizing. Perhaps enough time has passed. Or maybe a housecat? 
Speaker 2
I love cats, so will probably stick with those...lol  I have a cat named Zoey, and she is so gentle and sweet.  Do you like cats?
Speaker 1
Cats are okay. I admire how they'll just get in your face when they want attention. They're either extremely need or totally low maintenance. Sounds like Zoey gets along with the kids okay?
Speaker 2
Yes, cats can definitely be temperamental.  They consider themselves the boss...lol.  Zoey is very easy-going, however, and the kids love her.  So tell me about your raccoon.  
Speaker 1
My raccoon's name is Bandito, for obvious reasons. They actually get along with the bearded dragon pretty well; they'll kind of just stare at each other. And Bandito knows not to mess with the horses
Speaker 2
Lol!  I just got a visual image of the bearded dragon and Bandito staring at each other, sizing each other up.  I love that name for a raccoon.  Perfect.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I had to get a stronger enclosure for the bearded dragon, though. One time Bandito charged at the old one and shattered it; it was a mess. He only tried once with the new one and learned his lessons. So how did you end up writing children's books? Had you always wanted to or did you just find it to be a good outlet?
Speaker 2
I've always loved to write, and found it came naturally.  Also, I had lots of stories based on my own children and their antics...lol

Bandito just play with me. I have plan for this weekend. 
Speaker 2
Oh yeah? What are you up to? I try to get Zoey to play but she just sleeps!
Speaker 1
I went to the fire work show last night and today we're doing brunch in few hours.  How was your weekend?
Speaker 2
Good - we didn't see any fireworks though. The show started too late for the kids! We're enjoying a relaxing day today. Where are you going for brunch?
Speaker 1
There's a local restaurant called Chips.  They have the best french toast and as long as my cousin gets her mimosas she's happy.
Speaker 2
I love a good bloody mary myself! Takes the edge off of parenting! I'm just joking, I don't drink when I'm with my kids! How are your bearded dragons doing?
Speaker 1
He's good.  I need to stop and getting him more crickets later.  I love him but the only downside to a beardie is the fact they eat live food so I'm constantly at the store.lol
Speaker 2
I bet - having to constantly have live bugs around definitely keeps me away from reptiles as pets!
Speaker 1
It's not so bad.lol  They're sure chill and easy animals.  They're a great starter pet for your kids to take care of on their own.
Speaker 2
Really? Well maybe I'll consider it when they're a little older. I can certainly handle feeding crickets a lot better than live mice!
Speaker 1
Yeah, I'm not a fan of snakes but these days you can buy frozen mice instead of live.  It's easier and safer.  But I like mice so I'll stick to bearded dragons.lol
Speaker 2
Oh ok, I didn't know that! My brother like watching the snake hunt the mouse which I find very disturbing. Lizards sound like a good option for us!
