Chapter Text
Mom and Dad told us that when they got home they were bringing a new member of the family. Kate and I hoped they meant a puppy instead we got a baby sister.
When they came in we rushed to meet them, we couldn’t wait to meet our new puppy we’d already agreed on a name. They held out the bundle in dad’s arms with huge smiles on their faces saying, “this is your new sister Chloe.”
Kate got to the question before I could “But where’s the puppy?” Mom and Dad looked at each other then turned back to us and explained that they didn’t have a puppy for us, just a sister we didn’t need.
I looked at her intensely for some time finally saying, “She’s not a puppy but, at least she’s squishy.”
If we had only known how troublesome she’d be.
