When she had asked for money, they had asked what she needed it for. When she had answered that Annie needed a new outfit, they had laughed at her. He... mother and father had actually laughed out loud at her.It wasn’t until her father had hung up on her that Judy began to question why it was so necessary for Annie to have a new outfit that she had to go begging her parents for the money. Judy hadn’t purchased a new outfit since Paul had left. Actually, she had tried but the credit card she had. It was when she was not sweating that something was not quite right with her body temperature. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail to keep it out of her eyes and a little puddle formed under her tailbone to remind her of her need to keep drinking liquids.She looked up into the stands and saw her sister talking with some silly boy who sat listening to her words with an interested look on his face.

Do you want to go with me or stay and wait for Dad?"Mom stood and hugged me as I got up. She said, "I'll stay. Ruth is coming over to have coffee with me, and she'll help me wake your dad.
