Aaah! More piggies!

OK, I was supposed to be studying, but I had to come over here and say this:
Remember Lucy? Remember Ethel? Remember how Lucy was supposed to be pregnant, and we got Ethel because we came to the conclusion that she wasn't, after we had her for three months, and she didn't give birth? So now... one of them just had three babies. We don't know who is the mother (we think it's Ethel, which would make sense because we've had her for little enough time for her to still be pregnant) and we don't know if the father is in the cage. Mira says Lucy is the father, but I maintain that the father was Ethel's roommate in the pet store. Do I sound gross? Anyway, if either of the original guinea pigs is a male, we need to get rid of him, because we don't really want to mix males and females... In any case, we'll need to get rid of the babies, because we don't have room for five guinea pigs, not to mention that they told us in the pet store when we thought Lucy was pregnant that we can get a credit if we return the babies...
On the other hand, some of us are worried that the babies don't have a very long life ahead of them, so we'll have to see what happens to them...
