Her eyes wandered to her backpack, sitting against the wall. In it, she had packed her Halloween costume; she had planned on dressing up as a doctor. Her friend Judy was going to be a nurse, and her sister Lana, was going to be a newborn baby. Judy’s Mom had helped them with the costumes, and together they were sure to get tons of candy.
Her sisters costume gave her an idea. If Lana could be a convincing baby; maybe she could too. She grinned slightly, but Brie didn’t notice; she was staring angrily at her turnips.
“So you really think you can take care of a two year-old?” Jinny set her fork down; looking over at the younger girl.
“Yeah.” Brie looked up.
