Poor Lynxes

Joel was reading a book about baby animals in the van last week.

"Mom, did you know that baby lynxes are called kits or cubs?"

"Yeh, I think I knew that."

"Did you know they weigh six to ten pounds when they're born?"

"No, I didn't know that."

"And did you know they're poor?"

"Poor?" I wondered aloud. "Why are they poor?"

"Because. " he said sadly, "they only have dirt homes to live in, not real ones."
