" Why do you and Daddy keep calling me Sarah, when my name's Michael?"Everyone went quiet. Mummy looked puzzled and Daddy looked at Michaelstrangely. ...anny and Granddad had their mouths open and Auntie and Unclestopped sipping their sherries.Then, suddenly, they all laughed.Michael wished he knew what the joke was."What?"Mummy wiped her hands on a cloth and went over to Michael."Sarah, I do love your jokes, poppet. It's funny, if you had been born aboy, we'd have called you Michael, but as you. "She likes you," Jennifer said in a hushed yet excited voice."How can you tell?" I asked since I was still trying to sort out what my empathic senses were telling me.Jennifer motioned me to sit on the couch, but then instead of sitting next to me on it, she sat down in the only chair in there."Well, for one, the only time we ever bring the good chair in here is when my Aunt or someone like that visits. Lee brings boyfriends to dinner all the time, and we've never brought the good chair in for. At nine o'clock, I told Tom that it was time for bed, this was the time set by his parents. He obeyed without any complaint. He said good night and a little later I could hear him go to the bathroom and wash and then a little slam as he closed the door to the guest-room were he should sleep.I left the girls alone since I figured that they would fall asleep when they were tired but about an hour later, I heard the steps of bare feet and when I looked up Jessica came down the stairs."Dad," she. Being a mute shouldn't enter into it. You have to admit he has become a handsome young man. If there is any question about his mental capacity, I'm sure we have enough evidence to show to support the fact. Not every person of 22 years can show they have acquired several million dollars for himself and his family at this stage in his life." Okay, but that is fudging the facts a whole lot. You are the one who guided him into this." Maybe, but what father wouldn't do the same for his son if he.
