{{TB|It's a beautiful summer day and we have no family outing planned?!}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|You're right. There was nothing in any of our group texts or family calendar. Let’s come up with a plan!}}
{{Tapped Out Marge Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Why not do the thing every family does to pretend they still love being together… go to the zoo!}}

{{TB|Joe, the rabble are rousing again. They're chanting "We want a zoo!" over and over.}}
{{Tapped Out Quimby Icon}}
{{TB|Any funds for a zoo went to the apology furs I bought you. I suppose families could tour your closet to see minks, foxes, and cheetahs.}}
{{Tapped Out Mrs. Quimby Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Sweetie, I'm afraid you're going to have to act more responsibly than that.}}

{{Tapped Out Bart Icon}}
{{TB|I'm gonna go with TV execs.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|At least this time we're treating the animals humanely.}}
