Leave It To The Kids

“Aw,” Brad replied, “that’s woman stuff! I am going to be a widow when I grow up!”

The Ore Oelkers family was happy Wednesday to recover their parakeet, which flew out of the house Tuesday afternoon—a cold and windy day. Glen Goodman found him, he notice a sparrow hawk that was pretty excited. How the tiny pet will stand the exposure remains to be seen.
