"they are very well trained, they won't snap at the kids." he promised, carrying one and a half year old daughter 'bean', also known as Annabell.

"i can't believe Eric is old enough for his first show and tell!" Steve said, wondering if this was really going to be okay? he was only three and a half, wasn't that too young to be in preschool? and now to have a show and tell so soon! and for little Eric to insist that they take the pets, the two Raptors who where barely older than Eric was walking perfectly calm on their halters... well, it would be fine, right?
