The Zoo With Chimichanga and The Goose

The Goose

Lucy is a French bulldog and Chimichanga is a cat. They live in a gorgeous two bedroom apartment in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and, for the last week, I have been house sitting this place to take care of them while their parents are stuffing their faces with meatballs in Sweden. My friend’s refer to their apartment as “The Zoo”.

This week Aiza, Nina, and I talked about what it was like growing up in an immigrant family. We shared memories of pig roasts and mentioned that some of our family members had chickens as pets. It reminded me of that brief period of time my family also had chickens. Here, I will share that story which I wrote in college back in 2004.

It was a lovely evening. The stars were out, a warm light breeze ran through the streets, and the pale moonlight made sure they were being peaceful. I had school in the morning but I didn’t bother setting the alarm. I didn’t have to anymore because they would do the job for me. They always did the job for me.
