Wendy came in a second later and
shared a glance with Randy, both know-
ing exactly what would happen.
It’d be fine for a few weeks,
until other things began occupying
their minds. They'd forget all about
the bunnies, and then they'd end up
being the ones taking care of them.
That's when Beth stepped in, got
down on one knee, and started the ball
rolling in the right direction for the
girls.
“Even if your parents agree, you
have to ask us first, and whether we
say yes depends on whether you can keep
a couple promises,” she explained, and
then studied both of them, one at a
time, before continuing.
“First, you have to promise, with
all your heart, that you'll both take
* super good care of which ever bunny or
bunnies you take home with you,” she
said, and then pointed to both of them,
one after the other.
“And see this guy here,” she said
while pointing back at me. They both
looked at me and nodded.
“He was almost beaten up by four
guys, just because he wanted to save
those bunnies from drowning. He was
lucky your Dad was there to help,” she
said pausing and looked at each of
them again before continuing, “They're
miracle bunnies and need lots of love
because of it. If you can promise
that...”
Their eyes both got wide, and to-
gether they both said, “Wow!”
“...and also, if for any reason,
you can't take good care of them,
you'll give them back, and in return,
we promise not to get mad.
