A Chip off the old block

Last week, my daughter Amelia brought home a Guninea Pig from her pre-school class. Apparently 'Chip' is like a library book where the kids check him out. We took him home on a Wednesday and, because they didn't have school that Friday, he was to stay with us for five nights.

I had a Guinea Pig when I was a kid. I don't remember its name or much about it. I think I may have even had more than one? But after spending some time with Chip, I see that there may not be much to remember. Chip didn't have much of a personality and didn't move much more than he had to.



But there were no disasters and the cat's initial curiousity soon wore off so the Chip trip was a success.

One funny thing is that a mother of a pre-school student from the 05-06 school year (a classmate of Evan's) visited our house and observed that she didn't remember Chip looking like that.

We're wondering if the position of 'Chip' at pre-school has the stability and longevity of a Redshirt.
