5. What are the symptoms of the Marley Mambo?

Answer: Marley's body would quiver, his head would bob and his rear would swing.

Marley's body would quiver, his head would bob from side to side and his entire rear end would swing in a sort of spastic dance. He did this when he picked up an object small enough to conceal in his mouth. It made him so happy and excited that he would do the Marley Mambo.

9. What is sometimes said to be the meaning of the name of the Florida city to which the family moved?

Answer: Mouth of the Rat

Boca Raton, translated from Spanish, means literally "Mouth of the Rat", or "Mouth of the Mouse". However, the source of the name was probably actually some older Spanish words (Boca Ratones) that meant a bay or inlet (boca) with sharp stones that scrape the boat (ratones).
10. What did Colleen name her chick?

Answer: Fluffy

John and Jenny had decided to get poultry as they not only gave eggs but ate all the bugs and grubs in the garden. When they grew old they could be killed and eaten. Jenny had become friends with a mom from school who lived on a farm and said she'd be happy to give them some chicks.
