Garrett was real reliable in that arena. Luckily, in social studies our class got library time
to do research for our famous historical figure report.
Darla and Juli were both in that class, but I managed to drag Garrett into a back corner of the library without either of them noticing.

Remember when we went and looked over her fence?” “Back in the sixth grade?
Yeah. Remember how you were down on me for wondering what a hen was?He rolled his eyes. “Not this again….”
Man, you didn’t know jack-diddly-squat about chickens. I put my life in your hands and you dumped me in a bucket of bull.”

He just shrugged and said, “Makes sense to me.” “Man, she caught me!” “Who?” “Juli!” “Whoa, dude!”
I told him about what I’d said, and how almost right after that she was out playing weed warrior in her front yard.
