What they're doing with genetic engineering

My parents left for their anniversary trip (happy anniversary!), so they left my at my friend Seymour's* house for the weekend. Today Seymour, his mother, brother, dad (for a few minutes), and I went to the Nashville Zoo. It was a very educational experience, especially when I saw a misplaced apostrophe on the zebra sign (second paragraph, fourth line, last word, I think). It says "it's" when it should have said "its". I was shocked, horrified, and slightly offended until the zebras personally apologized; then I calmed down a bit. After the zebras we walked through a bamboo forest. I've decided to cut down all the trees in our yard and plant bamboo instead. I hope my parents don't mind.
A lot of the signs in the zoo had "Vanishing Animal" written on them. Apparently the animals spontaneously vanish into thin air. It's amazing what they're doing with genetic engineering these days.
After the zoo, we went to Whole Foods Market for lunch. I had some delicious lasagna, couscous, a variety of tofu, some strawberries, fried rice, noodles, and some other foods as well. Whole Foods is my favorite store now. (And I don't work there. Really.)
It's been a very good day. I hope my parents have a good trip! :)
