missmiah | Give a panda a biscuit

I love zoos.

For real.

I also love Giant Pandas, as in I legit started crying three years ago when we visited Zoo Atlanta and I was able to see two of them in person for the first time ever.

Zoo Atlanta is currently running a program where - for an exorbitant amount of money - you can spend an hour with a small group of other people who have paid a crapton of money hanging out behind the scenes of the Giant Panda enclosure, watching the trainers run through a few behaviours with one of the pandas AND THEN THEY LET YOU FEED THE PANDA A BISCUIT.

True, you're feeding the panda through a large wire mesh door cage thing because cute adorable panda can still mess you up good if the mood strikes, but still... panda. Eating a biscuit. That you fed him/her.

Anyway, as we are moving far, far away from Zoo Atlanta in the very near future, Captain has offered to drive the family three hours each way so that we can visit the zoo and I can have this once in a lifetime opportunity (for me, anyway) if I want.

I'm not talking selling my first (and only) born child kind of money, but once all is said and done and I've added in zoo tickets, food, gas and probably a stuffed orangutan (Blaze the orangutan was pregnant last year while I was gestating the Demon Spawn and I keep seeing pictures of her baby and now I want a stuffed orange ape for my baby because reasons) and I'm looking at a three hundred dollar zoo trip, easy.

Three hundred dollars just so I can get slobbered on by a panda.

Should I?
