out pretty great because they hatched out during the

fair that night。 My whole family came; and even though Matt and Mike only watched for about

two minutes before they took off to look at some other

demonstration; my mom and dad stuck around for the whole thing。 Mom even picked Bonnie

up and nuzzled her。

That night after it was all over and I was packing up to go home; Mom asked; “So do these

go back to Mrs。 Brubeck now?”

“Do what go back to Mrs。 Brubeck?” I asked her。

“The chicks; Juli。 Youre not planning to raise chickens; are you?”

To be honest; I hadnt thought beyond the hatch。 My focus had been strictly on bringing them

into the world。 But she was right—here they were。

Six fluffy little adorable chicks; each of which had a name and; I could already tell; its own

unique personality。

“I…I dont know;” I stammered。 “Ill ask Mrs。 Brubeck。”

I tracked down Mrs。 Brubeck; but I was praying that she didnt want me to give them back to

her friend。 After all; Id hatched them。 Id named them。

Id saved them from mushy chick disease! These little peepers were mine!

To my relief and my mothers horror; Mrs。 Brubeck said they were indeed mine。 All mine。

“Have fun;” she said; then zipped off to help Heidi

dismantle her exhibit on Bernoullis law。

Mom was quiet the whole way home; and I could tell—she wanted chickens like she wanted

a tractor and a goat。 “Please; Mom?” I whispered as

we parked at the curb。 “Please?”

She covered her face。 “Where are we going to raise chickens; Juli? Where?”

“In the backyard?” I didnt know what else to suggest。

“What about Champ?”

“Theyll get along; Mom。 Ill teach him。 I promise。”

My dad said softly; “Theyre pretty self…sufficient; Trina。”

But then the boys piped up with; “Champll piss em to death; Mom;” and suddenly they were

on a roll。 “Yeah! But you wont even notice cause

theyre yellow already!” “Whoa! Yellow Already—cool name。” “That could work! But wait—

people might think we mean our bellies!” “Oh; yeah—

forget that!” “Yeah; just let him kill the chicks。”
