Clue/Question:  They were traveling at 60 MPH, and their chatty daughter was talking – – –

Answer:  A MILE A MINUTE

(There are two main times when someone gets that chatty; when they’re very nervous, or when they are very excited.  And, this little girl is VERY excited!  This must be a very special zoo they’re going too.  Just about every kid likes going to the zoo.  My favorite were the elephants, the big cats, and the sea lions.  But I enjoy the entire experience.

No new clue words.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, but we’ve definitely seen “romni” in earlier Jumbles.  They all came to me right away.  The answer letter layout was a tremendous twelve letter jumble.  But I had the answer before even really looking at the cartoon.  I must’ve picked up the general vibe of the cartoon.

Fine cartoon of the family car trip.  The little girl is riding in a booster seat.  Mom and Dad look calm and collected, but the little girl looks like she’s ready to explode!  I hope the zoo is everything she hopes it will be.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
