"I don't think so."

"Maybe we sale him."

"Sale him?"

"Mm-hm. Rememba we had a lemonade sale."

"Oh yeah. We can have a baby sale."

"Yeah!" I sat on her bed. Excited about the new idea.

"Don't mess up my Princess Tiana covers."

"Me not."

"What would we need for a baby sale tho?" Sata asked me.

"Me no, know." I shrugged.

"Uh....pics of Miri. So the people that buy can see what he look like."

"Me no have pics."

"Draw it stupid."

"Oh yeah."

She got up to get me some paper and crayons. "Sit here." She pointed to her little table and gave me the crayons and paper.

"You draw Miri. I'll draw the sign."

"How much Miri cost?" I asked drawing Miri.

"Uh... We can get candy."

"Ohhhhh yeah."

"I'll make a list. What kind?" Sata said.

"Snickers. Yum!" I said.

"Skittles." She suggested.

"me love skittles. The purple kind." I said drawing.

"Twix." She added.

"Can we get chips too?"

"Oh yeah!!!"
Sata rubbed her hands together.

"And popcorn!" I said excited.

"Cousin Bobby Ray said eating popcorn makes eggs grow in your throat." Sata said making the sign and the list.

"Yuck. No popcorn den." Me no wanted eggs in my throat.

"Who buy Miri Sata?"

"Well somebody with a lot of food."

"Uncle Boobie? He eat a lot."

"He's too far away."

"Cousin Bobby Ray?"

"Yes he has a lot of food." Sata said.

"How we ask em?"

"Uh...we call him."

"Pop-pop no like us talking to him."

"So we ask mommy to call him."

"And den we sale Miri?"

"Yeah. For candy and chips." She said drawing the sign.

"Mommy might be sad tho Auggie. And Pop-pop." Sata warned me.

"They be better. We give dem some chips."

"Yeah chips make me feel better. Doritos."

"Yeah me love Doritos. Huh." I handed her my picture.

"You got to write his name under it."

"Me no, know how to spell it."

"Uh Miri. M-r-e."

I wrote down what she said.

"Now all I have to do is finish the sign and we call."

We heard Pop-Pop coming up the stairs toward Sats room."
