HELLO! My name is CHICKIE!
Mommy’s two youngest great-granddaughters came to visit, and I thought they were too wild. Mommy says they’re very good little girls, but they’re curious and want to examine and explore. That’s okay, but don’t examine and explore me!
I think girls should be quiet and still, like the girls in the picture Poppy loved.
I could be a good ballet girl. Mommy says I have the toes for it.
Or maybe I’ll just stay being a bat. It always made Poppy laugh, and now it makes Mommy laugh.
I hope those little girls come back. Maybe they’ll explore in the bafroom and open that cabinet Mommy fastened shut so Tipper and I can’t get behind the baftub and hide. That would be fun!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Would you rather be a bat or a ballet dancer?
