The family began to worry that Ty’s little invisi- ble friend would eventually divert his embryonic cere- brum to the point where the human instincts meld into virtual reality. Is he dream- ing when he’s awake or dreaming when he’s asleep? There came a point when they began to take it seri- ously. It happened when Dad walked across the wood floor, slipped and fell on his elbow! Ty started scolding Chip while simultaneously rubbing the floor with a paper towel. “Sawy Dad,” he said, “I’m twaining him but he dint make it to da poddy. Sawy.” On that fateful day they had taken the family to the carnival at the county fair. Chip went with them, of course. He played the games, ate the cotton candy and looked at the exhibits, with Ty explaining to Chip as they walked along. Final- ly Dad said it was time to go. Well, Chip threw a fit! He didn’t want to go…No, No, No! Mother tried coaxing Chip. He finally agreed to go if he just could take one more ride on the Big Tea Cup. Okay. Afterward they loaded in the car and head- ed home. As they hit the tar- mac Ty suddenly cried, “We left Chip on the ride!” Dad glanced out the window and said, “There he is!” With that he swerved sharply. All the passengers were slammed to the driver’s side! “Got him,” said Dad. The car straightened out and continued down the road. Nobody said a word. It was the last time Ty ever mentioned Chip. That evening Mom commented to Dad that the lesson was maybe a little too harsh. Then she asked him what he would have done if Ty had raised a ruckus? “Oh,” an- swered Dad, ever the wise and practical man, “I would have said, “I missed him!” and gone back to retrieve the invisible Chip.
