“I don’t know, Clara,” Cal said at recess the next morning.

Milo stood beside him.

His dad stood a little ways away, talking with one of his other guards. “I did what you said, and thought about which parent I want to live with all last night. But I never did get to see if Dad knows how to cook, and Mom brought home pizza for dinner. What does that mean?”

“Sorry, but that’s not a good sign.” Clara made her eyes all big, then grabbed the end of one of her braids and started sucking on it.

“Well, I already know Mom’s a good cook,” Cal said. “And when I tried getting Dad to buy me a present, he said he would, but I still don’t have it.”

“What’d you ask for?” Sam asked.

“A donkey or a rooster.”

All the kids who had gathered around the big shade tree next to the little slide laughed so hard they snorted.

Milo wagged his tail.

“What’s so funny?” Cal asked. “I’ve always wanted both those things.”

“Dummy,” Clara said. “You’re supposed to ask for new Game Boy games and an iPad, not a donkey!”

“Well, I didn’t know.”

Hands on her hips, she said, “Well, now you do. Your homework for tonight is to find out if your dad cooks. If he cooks and gets you a donkey, then go with him. Otherwise, you might want to stay with your mom.”

Cal wrinkled his nose from confusion, but Clara was the expert, so he guessed he had to do whatever she said—even if it sounded lame. Otherwise he might not even get a rooster, let alone a donkey!

“Clara,” he said once most of his guy friends had headed for the tire swings. “You sure you’re right about all this? What if I don’t want to choose? Is there any way I can have both Mom and Dad?”

Clara took a long time to think about that, then said, “I guess you could make sure they stay married.”
