The last two took forever, but Mrs. Brubeck insisted that I leave them alone,
and that worked 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. You’re not planning to raise chickens, are you?”
To be honest, I hadn’t 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 don’t know,” I stammered. “I’ll ask Mrs. Brubeck.”
I tracked down Mrs. Brubeck, but I was praying that she didn’t want me to give them back to her friend.
