Barely five, it was difficult for Megan to go on Sunday afternoons with her Father who was divorced from her Mother. When he dropped her back at 6PM it was a rush to get things ready for school tomorrow and transition from Dad's to Mom's house.

"Daddy" said Megan to her Father,Dave driving her after this weeks visit, while she sat in the kids seat in the rear, "Can we not go to the zoo again"

"Why pumpkin pie"

"Zoo's are not humane"

"Do you feel like you are in a zoo"

"No, Dad, I just don't want to see animals treated like that", " that's all

Dave glanced in the mirror at the back seat and saw his ex-wife's eyes reflected in his daughter's and said " I never liked zoos either Megan"

"Let's go to the food court next time and have fava beans again" said Megan

"Sure pumpkin" said Dad

Sorting carefully Megan began to organize her papers for school tomorrow.
