Ithought that, having hit upon the right question, Jenny would havegiven me a satisfied look, but she continued to focus on Jamie."Jamie, is your doll...a boy or a girl?" Jamie's like me." You?re a boy."Jamie looked puzzled and then began to cry. I started to get up tocomfort him. Dr. Mitchell shook her head. Instead she got up, got onher knees in front of him and held him.
