Chicky Chicky

My neighbor is a grade school teacher. (I think she teaches second grade.) Her class incubated and hatched chicks and she brought them over today so I could see them.

Elvis hid the entire time she was here, but Beverly was all up in her business.

My neighbor was like, "Oh, I'll take one out of the box so Bev can get a better look."

I said, "Um, you might not want to do that... she might try to eat it."

"No, no... she'll be fine," she said.

Could her eyes get any wider? You can see why I was worried.

You know she's thinking, Mmm... chicken.
