Day 24: Goodbye Chicken

Dear Granny,

Alice got one of our chickens. I know she didn't mean to kill it, but she was playing too rough.  I feel guilty because the little hen got out this morning and I wasn't able to catch her and protect her properly.

It took about an hour for me to get up the nerve to put on some work gloves, thank the chicken the eggs, and chuck her into the woods. An hour later Alice brought her back and dropped her in front of the house.

It was at that moment that I decided that I was not going to cook dinner and made a plan to order pizza. I believe I deserve it.  It's not everyday you throw a dead chicken into the woods and have it returned to you.
