Don’t squeeze him too tight right now Pipsqueak Grandma Sadie said He’s very sensitive at the moment The space dust came from Jupiter Sadly he belongs there not on Earth Oh I’m so sorry Cosmo I said and I loosened my grip I don’t want to make things worse for you It’s just so hard I want to hug you and hold you forever I know Piper I know said
Grandma Sadie I feel awful about it But this is the best way I know to give Cosmo a chance to recover At least if he goes to Jupiter he’ll be safe from everyone at MaLa Claire said She patted my arm I knew she was trying to be nice But when you’re really sad there’s no at least that can make things better How will we get him to Jupiter I asked Can I take him there I’d never been to space before It had always seemed exciting and also really scary But nothing was scarier than losing Cosmo I’d take all the extra time with him that I could get
It wouldn’t be safe for you to go Grandma Sadie said We don’t have space suits in your size Can we sneak out of here and go to the space suit store and buy one I asked Space suits cost between three hundred and five hundred million dollars to develop and make Grandma Sadie said I felt my eyes grow wide Five hundred million dollars I get two dollars for my allowance every week It’d take me way too long to save up that much Maybe she can borrow a space suit Claire said I can wear yours Grandma
I’m afraid space suits need to be exactly the right size Grandma Sadie said Mine would be too big on you And since we haven’t sent any kids to space we don’t have one that would work But don’t worry There are two very experienced AstroBlast explorers going on a mission today in Grandma Sadie looked at her watch T-minus thirty-two minutes to liftoff Why do they say T-minus when they do countdowns Claire asked T stands for the amount of time until the event Eric explained When T is at zero it’s go time So we’d better leave right now Grandma Sadie said Okay Piper
