When Emily says, “Drew, I need to talk with you,” I stop what I’m doing and listen. Today was no different except for the totally random subject of which she wanted to speak.
“Drew, I want a pet.”
“OK…”
“I want a peacock.”
“OK…”
A sage woman once said that if a young couple can afford to have a pet, they should just start having children. I’m not saying we don’t want children (because we do!), but I am saying I don’t want a peacock. One bird around the house getting her feathers ruffled is enough.

Thanks for reading my post. Come again soon!

We're Drew and Emily Maust, a linguist and nurse on our way to serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Cameroon. Read more about us and what we're doing. Poppy and Henry are two years apart.
If you’re saying no to the peacock then can we have a baby instead? Babies don’t have feathers.
