![]() ![]() Every day she felt in every brood box and brought in every egg, every single one, that's what she did.Įvery one, she said in her mind, over and over. Mama said she was too young for egging, but little Peggy showed her. All this while standing tiptoe on a wobbly stool, reaching high above her head. She just pushed the straw apart, wrapped her hand around the egg, and lifted it out of the brood box. Even when the chicken drips were wet and stringy and made her fingers stick together, little Peggy gave no never mind. After all, when folk with babies stayed at the roadhouse, Mama never even crinkled her face at their most spetackler diapers. ![]() She gave no never mind to the chicken drips. She rooted her hand through the straw till her fingers bumped something hard and heavy. LITTLE PEGGY WAS VERY CAREFUL with the eggs. ![]()
