Chapter 26, Chickens
I'll tell you this story if you promise not to tell anyone and keep it a secret between us. Meme Milli walked in one Friday afternoon, struggling through the door with her suitcase and a large, flat cardboard box resting on her hip, shaking from side to side as she was trying to hold it with one hand. Oddly, every time it moved it made a chirping noise, and it sounded like something was sliding inside. "Let me help you, Meme ," I said and rushed to the door. "Take the suitcase, please," she answered and pushed it toward me with her foot. "Thanks." "You're welcome," I said, "what's in the box?" "All in good time," she said with a smile. "It's a holiday gift for you and your brother." Mom walked into the room looking at the odd box and said, "Now what is this? Welcome and happy Passover Ma" Right behind her was Avi, my younger brother, yelling, " Meme, Meme , what did you get us?"
