I had to have a different Physics teacher because there would be a conflict of interest if Randy graded my exams. Mrs. Owens was a little younger than...Randy, and I looked forward to being one of her favorite students, so I could talk to her about how a woman could have a career in mathematics or a scientific field, and what were the best steps to take to get on a successful career track. Of course equally important will be learning what steps are career suicide. While I wouldn’t mind having. We didn't feel any pressure! The team spent the time snacking on celery and carrots while all around us people were gobbling down cake and sodas. I pulled Annette aside and had a quiet discussion with her. She readily agreed to my plan and left to make arrangements. Mike and Ann walked around with Wendy and me as our proud parents, and Tom and Rita showed up with Einstein for a "proud to know you, got faith in you," show of support. Linda and Julie were standing by the sidelines, smiling as we. "I must admit, your back does look better today, what I can see of it. There will be some bruising for some time to come, but the abrasions and lacerations appear to not have as much lividity." It's nowhere near as senisitve," she said. "I usually heal pretty well." Let me go get some warm water and a wash cloth," he said. "I think it would be a good idea if we treated those first with some soap and water, especially considering the clothes you've been wearing for so long." Why don't I just. Squirming in self- consciousness I wriggled my pajama bottoms off under the bedclothes and dropped them on the floor. My cheeks were hot.She said, "You look *adorable!* Absolutely *precious.* Stand up and let me see."My mouth opened a couple of times before I was able to say, "I c-can't." Of course you can. Get out of bed and let me see you in your nightie. This is so exciting. I always wanted a daughter."She would see my thing. "Mom, I--"She cut in. "Do as I say, Tommy."I climbed out of bed.
