English term or phrase: What did I need this for?
Testo teatrale israeliano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra una mamma e sua figlia piccola su un pulcino.

A: Mum! Come, you must see him- he's so cute!
B: Cute?! Look at him! Flesh and bones! Probably doesn't eat anything, only makes a mess, like you. What did I need this for? Only diseases this will bring us!

La mia proposta:

[...]
B: Carino? Ma guardalo, carne e ossa! Non mangia niente, fa solo casino, come te. A che mi serviva?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
