I had a lot of work to do. It seems I had a barbecue to plan. My first call was to the parents. I knew my dad loved a good cookout and my mom agreed to help also.
They were eager to celebrate their newest daughter. I called Connie and Paula and had Connie invite Vicky and Paula ask her brother, Pete, Sue, and Janie also. As an afterthought I had her ask Jeff to call some guys on the team.
Tina was back before I had finished and listened in. When I hung up she said �You made the cookout story up just to get me over here didn�t you?�
I said �yep, but afterward it sounded like fun so I went with it. People need to know the real you. Not who you were, even if you were almost as adorable then. I don�t mean tell everyone our story, just act natural. You may surprise some people but you�ll be happier. Besides, we need to introduce my sexy sister to everyone.�
As we walked over to the main house to pass her cash and the instructions on what to do with it to dad I gave her the guest list and she seemed to know most of the people. She remarked that it was strange how out of everyone I had invited not one of them were people who ran her off were hateful to her though some treated her like a little kid.
When she said maybe it was just because she didn�t see them much, I stopped her. �No, that�s not it at all� I told her. �It�s because they�re not rude. I don�t consider people who are rude to others to be friend material and everyone I invited is a friend.�
When we got there it was time for more introductions. My dad was already taking inventory. It was our first cookout in the new house and he was dying to try out the built-in grill by the pool. While he made a list of the utensils he would need my mom had been working on one for the groceries.
I hugged them both and introduced Tina to them. I was shocked when my father didn�t tease her at all. He just remarked �another pretty girl, why am I not surprised?� We helped with the list to make sure they didn�t get carried away. I had to explain to my father twice that good steaks were wasted on kids our age before he relented. We would be having hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian sausage and brats from the grill.
Mom was planning some macaroni and potato salad, along with some desserts. We volunteered to help with the shopping and by the time we got home Tina, Beth, and my folks were talking like old friends. She asked where the bathroom was and received the directions.
When she heard the door close my mother remarked �everyone you�ve brought home seems very mature for their age. I�m glad you don�t hang around with idiots but I have to bite my tongue when I talk to people from work when they call and complain about the people their kids hang out with. I called my friend Gail for a recipe I wanted for your party and you should have heard her when I told her what it was for! She thought I was crazy for even thinking about doing it and even crazier for thinking it would be fun!�
Before I could tell her why Tina seemed so mature my dad asked if my last game was tomorrow and I told him it was the last regular one before the playoffs. He hated the fact that he never got to make it so he decided to take off from work to see me play. He said was doing the same for every playoff game that wasn�t on the weekend. He had always been very reluctant to take time off for any reason so this surprised me. The only time I remembered him taking a sick day was when he was physically unable to get out of bed.
He surprised me even more when I asked him about it. �Fuck �em� he stated. �Family comes first in this house from now on. If they don�t like it they can fire me. Better yet, we�ll buy the company and I�ll fire them!�
Tina was back by then and heard about the games. I hadn�t mentioned it yet and she was eager to go as well. We made our goodbyes and went back to the garage.
Tina surprised me by asking if she could work out with me instead of fooling around as I had halfway hoped. �My body never did have much muscle� she said �I spent most of my life hunched over a desk or lab table. Things are going to have to change. I don�t want to live like that again.�
I was happy to oblige and started her on the weight bench. I told her what she needed to do to build up her muscle mass and still look balanced without looking like a man. I don�t know how she felt but that thought didn�t appeal to me at all. Firm and toned was fine. Bulky and distorted wasn�t.
Beth and I did some sit-ups while she lifted and we each took a turn on the bench. I told Tina what she could do without equipment while we were showering but getting clean wasn�t the only thing on her mind. She went to her knees to get junior worked up while Beth and I made out but I didn�t let her stay there long. I explained that the poor fellow had been ready for an hour and had been begging for action since he saw them lying on the weight bench.
When I found out that she was as ready as I was I decided to do some weight training of my own and picked her up by her cheeks before lowering her onto my cock. We both enjoyed the workout but eventually we finished with her leaning on the wall as I pounded her from behind. I hadn�t been able to get enough speed in the other position to suit her. Beth had been waiting patiently and I did my best not to disappoint her. She got the same treatment from Tina and me.
We walked Tina most of the way home but kissed her goodbye at Connie�s house so her parents wouldn�t see and cause her problems. It was almost four and I wanted to check something out. There were several martial arts schools in the area I wanted to look at.
I was pretty sure I wanted the one for Karate. Judo and Tae Kwon Do just didn�t seem violent enough to me. I didn�t just want to put someone down; I wanted them to stay down. I explained this to Beth and she agreed. There wasn�t much activity in the Dojo when we arrived, just a couple of people practicing and a small but fit looking oriental fellow at a desk.
We went over to him, introduced ourselves, and explained that we might have more people interested in learning from him. When I asked when we might begin he looked at me and said in perfect unaccented English �perhaps in a week if I accept you. First I must know why you wish to learn.�
He seemed satisfied when I told him that we wanted to be sure that if we were attacked that whoever did the attacking would not be interested in attempting it again. I also added that in my case at least I wanted to improve my focus and concentration.
�That is a sufficient reason� he said �so many people come in here with the idea that the art is an offensive one. The watch silly movies that pervert the true aim of what we teach here. Karate also requires much concentration and even more dedication than many expect. Are you sure that you and your companions are up to the task?�
He smiled when I told him that I could not be sure since we had not attempted yet but I strongly suspected that every one of us was. He introduced himself as Sensei Timmons and chuckled at my raised eyebrow �my father is a U.S. marine, as am I. My mother is from Japan. You may begin Monday. Be here no later than nine.�
When I explained about possible conflicts in schedule due to my (and the girl�s) games he said �that is one of the two exceptions I allow. Team sports are very important and I strongly suggest all of my students participate in at least one. The other exception is for family commitments. Two sessions missed for other reasons and you will be dismissed.� I agreed and didn�t think it was necessary to check the other schools.
I had been satisfied with what I had learned. I swung by the main house again. Everyone was in the living room watching the news. Even Al was there with Joyce in his lap. When I mentioned the Karate class he said he�d always wanted to learn it but football would get in the way. When I explained Sensei Timmons� exception for sports his interest increased and he decided to stop in and talk to the Sensei about joining us.
I was going to hang out a while but was practically given the bums� rush by my brother and Joyce. I was a bit hurt by the treatment until I got to my place.
A delicious smell hit us in the face when I opened my door. When I got to the kitchen the sight that met me was even tastier. Paula was at the stove with her back to me, wearing an apron and nothing else. When she heard Beth say �yum!� she turned and squealed �oh shit!� as she tried to cover the parts that had popped out of the apron.
Beth cracked up and tried to soothe her by telling her �relax, Paula you�re among friends. You�ve got a cute butt, too.�
Paula recovered a bit but blushed as she said �thanks. You just scared me a bit. I hope you like dinner. I had a talk with your mother to find out what Matt liked. We�re having Hasenpfeffer, Spaetzle, Cabbage seasoned with bacon, and green beans.�
I was amazed �How long have you been here? I said �I know how long that takes, and it�s a while. What�s for desert?� She smiled �I�ve been working on this since you left. I was hiding out with your brother and Joyce. As for desert, I ran out of time.� She dropped the apron and looked directly at Beth as she said �so I guess this will have to do. I hope you like it.�
I was hoping for black forest cake but I liked her idea better. I know Beth did because she responded with �DOUBLE YUM!�
We took my time eating and even had seconds, which is unusual for me. When I finally forced myself to stop I looked up at her. She was grinning like a fool. I said �that was the best meal I�ve had in a long time. It was amazing, and you are too. I�m afraid desert will have to wait a while though because I�m too full to move! I managed the sofa while she put some music on and joined us.
�So� she began �tell me about Tina. Connie told me a little but I only caught a glimpse of her. She�s really cute but all I know is that she�s supposed to be some kind of genius as well.�
I sighed �She doesn�t have many friends and could use some as great as the two of you. She is also brilliant, pretty and has an amazing personality. I hope all of my friends like her too.�
She looked pensive and said �I can�t wait to meet her� she said �and Connie will jump for joy about the class. I planned this with her you know. I have you both to myself today. She placed the hand that wasn�t toying with her bush on her breast and kissed me and then Beth before leading us to bed.
It dawned on me that I hadn�t told her about the one important thing Tina, Beth, and I had in common and delayed their plans a bit I was also almost positive that someone had been giving a little less than full disclosure. I began to explain but didn't get far before one of them cracked up.
Paula said she hadn't even thought to go into detail since she assumed I didn't want to talk about it. "Look stud, I had you figured out from day one. I didn't know you before but that wasn't my fault. You hardly even recognized my existence. It took me about five seconds to realize you weren't the same guy as I knew. That guy would never have flirted with me the way you did. I guess it was bad of me but I wanted to see how long it took you to say anything. When you worked your magic on mom and I found out about it I thought for sure you knew and weren't ready to say anything. Plus, when I mentioned Eir you seemed to take it for granted that I was like you and left it at that."
I think I shocked her when I confessed to her that she scared me before. �When I saw you back then I was a fat shy kid who couldn�t talk to a girl as pretty as you even if I thought she was in my league. I was more self-assured when I met Tina. I never met Beth the last time, though I�m glad I have now."
Paula smiled at that "Beth had to be the same way because I've never even seen her before and she's like us, meaning that her mental age is way older than what it should be. Tina, on the other hand, is news. We never really talked much before but I'm really glad there are more like us. It's too bad there aren't some more guys though. No offense but you're way outnumbered sport, and I fear for your health if this keeps up."
We all shared our stories and found out that Paula had actually been an Oncologist. She was also deeply into cancer research and had worked in that capacity at Johns-Hopkins when the end came. Eir, the Goddess of healing and her request was to return to help her mother cope with her cancer.
That led to theories about why we had been singled out to be sent back and Paula found out for the first time what the outline was. "Why me?" she asked what does a cancer specialist have to do with anything?"
I had a suspicion and voiced it. "Perhaps this saving the world gig goes farther than we thought. While we're doing it maybe we can make it a better place at the same time. Perhaps this time you'll be successful in finding a cure and Tina will make us self-sufficient in energy. �She mentioned to me that was her goal. Maybe Beth and I can advance computer technology at a faster pace. Whatever the case, I have serious doubts that the Gods would go through the effort of sending someone back in time on a whim."
"Well", Beth added, "as fast as people seem to be popping up perhaps we'll be able to figure out a plan soon. I know there's a reason they want Matt to get filthy rich as well as famous. You damn sure have to be loaded to be able to afford a campaign. If he's a household name his chances are improved exponentially. Just think how popular he'd be if he was associated with the cure for cancer or solving the energy problem. He'd pose a serious threat to anybody he ran against. Now, enough of that! Times a-wastin' and I'm hornier than a three pronged billygoat!"
I was still walking funny when I got to the park the next day. The �usual suspects� joined me shortly after I arrived. We were all shocked when we heard �mind if we join you?� and Tina and Connie sat down with us.
I thought I detected a grimace when Tina sat down but when I asked if she was alright she shrugged and said �I�m fine, just business as usual.� I let it pass for now but resolved to find out more as soon as possible.
It wasn�t long before they blended in like they had always been there. The �Aardvarks� kicked butt as usual, winning 6-1. Tina remarked on the way to the diamond that she always wanted to get involved in sports but her parents wouldn�t let her.
Connie did too but said the money just wasn�t there to pay for it. I was glad I was pitching today. I looked in the crowd and saw my parents in the front row with Beth but was surprised to see Al and Joyce with them. I was glad to see them and even happier to see they had saved a lot of room for our friends.
The team we were playing was the same one we had the first game with my team. We huddled up before we took the field and I said �guys, you know how the coach feels about these pricks. I don�t think any of us like them much either. How�s about we kick their ass all over the field?�
I think they liked the sound of it from all the noise they made. This team was in first place and had lost only once and that was to us. From the looks and comments we were getting from them the poor slobs thought they were going to avenge themselves.
I�d like to say I felt sorry for them but that would be lying. I was pumped and so was Jeff but after I struck the first guy out on the three straight fastballs he had called and was up 0-2 on the second guy, he yelled �TIME!� and trotted out to me. �Dude� he said �those are sweet but I won�t be able to swing a bat if I keep calling them. I think it�s time to mix it up a little.� He handed me the ball and trotted back. I think he just wanted a break.
I choked back a laugh when he put the sign down the next time. I nodded and threw the knuckleball. The poor batter thought he had a shot at this one. He swung with all of his might at that floater at waist level. The problem was that it ended up inside at his ankles when it crossed the plate.
We gave the next guy a variety but with the same result. I had struck out the side on nine pitches. We were just as pumped on offense and when I came up to bat fourth we were up 2-0 with a man on second and nobody out. This pitcher thought he was good and no way was he going to walk me intentionally. In fact, he thought he was good enough to blow a fastball by me right over the plate.
He was wrong, and it was 4-0. By the time we took the field again it was 7-0 and they were pissed. They had never been in this position before and didn�t care for it much.
They cared for it less when I struck out the only three batters I saw. We did get some comic relief though. I had discovered how to throw a fork ball and it was pretty much un-hittable. It looked just like my change-up but dropped like a rock when it reached the plate.
Their coach insisted that the Umpire check the ball twice, swearing I had to be doing something to it. Our team cracked up along with the majority of the crowd.
When I came up to bat in the second inning something happened to make me like this team even less. I don�t know if their coach called it or if it was the pitchers� Idea but the first pitch thrown was a fastball at my head.
I caught it with my left hand and calmly turned to the umpire. I handed him the ball and asked �is that a hit batsman or a ball?�
He actually laughed when he pointed at first and said �take your base.� Their coach was out in a flash and in the Ump�s face. He and their pitcher were both tossed before he got there.
The first baseman asked me what the hell was going on. I told him that they had made us mad and that was not a good idea �by the way� I added �tell your pitcher my girlfriend throws harder than him�.
When the game was finally over I had pitched a perfect game and had 4 homers, 2 walks, a triple, 2 doubles, and been hit once. I was happy that we were in the majors and no slaughter rule was in effect. The final score was 23-0. The other team immediately left the field without handshakes or congratulations but we didn�t care at all.
Our coach was so happy he offered to spring for pizza for the entire team. We were joined by so many people we took over the local pizza joint. All the parents pitched in to cover the cost. When no one was looking I slipped away and pulled Tina with me. I led her around the corner of the building and said �o.k. give it up. I want to know why you�re so obviously hurting and trying to hide it.�
She hugged me, but pulled away when I tried to return it. �I�m sorry� she said �but my back hurts. It seems that I got home late yesterday. When I got there the belt was waiting for me. The asshole beat me bloody because I showed up ten minutes after I was supposed to.�
In the short time it took her to tell me this I became angrier than I had ever been in either life. A spanking or punishment was one thing. Blatant, brutal abuse was another thing entirely. I tried to remain calm as I asked where her father was now.
She told me he was probably at Finnegan�s drinking as usual before she saw the murderous look in my eyes. �Matt, don�t even think about it� she pleaded. �He�ll kill you first and then me if you say a word to him! He�s worse than a bully because he�s too damn stupid to care who he hurts. I think he gets off on it.�
I removed her hands from my shirt and kissed her gently as I assured her that I wouldn�t do anything to risk getting either of us hurt.
I told her to tell my folks I�d be home shortly and to go to their house with them and wait for me. I made her promise not to tell them about our discussion yet and she reluctantly agreed.
I walked to Finnegan�s and gave five bucks to a bum as a bribe. When Joe finch walked out to see who wanted him he met a size ten in the balls. When he leaned over to clutch them his nose got introduced to its neighbor. I was rewarded with a nasty crunching sound as his nose broke and he fell to the sidewalk groaning.
He looked up at me and I said calmly �touch her again motherfucker and you�re dead meat. I mean that in all sincerity so you would be wise to follow my advice. I know you won�t though because wisdom is a foreign concept to you. She isn�t coming home tonight and if I have any say in the matter any other night. Have a nice evening.� As I strode off he was alternating between cussing, moaning, crying, and spitting blood.
When I walked in the door Tina looked at me in obvious relief and my father said �can we find out what the hell�s going on now?�
I told him he�d find out soon and led mom and Tina to the guest room. My mother started to protest when I began to unbutton Tina�s top but when she saw the look on my face she stopped before saying a word. She gasped at the sight I uncovered.
I continued by removing the panties as well and heard a louder one before she exclaimed �I know what that is, but what I need to know is WHO THE HELL COULD DO SUCH A THING AND WHERE ARE THEY SO I CAN RIP THEIR FUCKING HEAD OFF!�
My dad and Beth must have heard the screaming very clearly and burst into the room. Tina�s back was facing the door and I heard dad stop and take a deep breath before he growled �not if I get there first.�
When I told them that the last time I saw him he was lying on the curb with a broken nose and severe testicular problems Tina spun around seemingly uncaring that she was completely nude in front of my parents. �If you didn�t kill that bastard I can�t ever go home because he�ll surely kill me. What do I do now?�
My dad saw me reach for Tina and yelled �NO MATT, DON�T DO IT! before whispering in my ear "if you heal those marks now no one will know what has been going on. We can�t stop what we can�t prove.� He looked at Tina and told her �what you do now is get dressed so we can take you to the ER, where they will treat you and call the police. We won�t let you go back there.�
Tina cried �that would be worse! They�ll put me in some foster home or orphanage and my whole life will be ruined! I�ll never get to see college! And what about Matt! If I can�t see him anymore I�d rather let the bastard kill me!�
I gave my father a pleading look but it was my mother who calmly said �it�s very simple Tina. There are alternatives you see, and though we�re very proud of our boys we�ve always wanted daughters as well, at least two in fact.�
Tina was the subject of a group hug, nudity and all. We were careful not to touch her back. That made it awkward, but we managed.
She looked up at my parents and said �you would do that for me? I�m thrilled with the idea but why? You hardly know me. I could be some kind of worthless person who would make your lives miserable.
My dad assured her �we know you well enough. We trust Matt. He obviously cares for you a lot and we have faith in his judgment. I was going to get mad at how he handled things today but I just don�t have it in me. After seeing what the man did to you I probably would have been convicted of manslaughter if it was me. I just hope Matt isn�t charged with assault.�
I tried to lighten the mood and said �NEWS FLASH! TWELVE YEAR OLD BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF GROWN BULLY, FILM AT ELEVEN!� I looked at Tina and asked the folks how they felt about incest. The Tina and mom blushed but my dad and Beth cracked up. We got Tina dressed and headed for the hospital.
She got a lot of attention when they saw her. There were two nurses and a doctor ready to kill when they examined her. I didn�t see it firsthand but as I saw them go back and forth it was easy to tell.
I caught a glimpse of someone familiar being wheeled behind another curtain on a gurney and collared one of the nurses. I pointed and said �the asshole that did that to her is in there.
Her face lit up and she nodded with a very un-nurse-like grin as she thanked me and hurried behind Tina�s curtain. The police arrived and I was happy one of them was female.
She was sent in to see Tina and after a moment she stuck her head back out and snarled �get the camera, Jack� and disappeared again.
Tina�s father had to wait a long time before he was seen. When they got around to him it sounded like they felt anesthetic (or gentleness) wasn�t necessary. When they were done treating him the lady cop went in and read him his rights. I could hear his shouts begin as she started. He came out strapped to a gurney and finally saw me. He screamed �THERE HE IS! ARREST THAT LITTLE FUCKER! HE ATTACKED ME!� both of the cops, several nurses, and the doctor laughed at him.
The male cop got in his face and said �a little kid beat the shit out of you? Man, you�re a bigger pussy than I thought. Personally, I hope he did. It would be fucking poetic justice for a child beater to have the shit kicked out of him by a child. I�m going to give you a little advice though. If you should manage to make bail and anything AND I MEAN EVEN A FUCKING HANGNAIL should happen to anyone involved here, you will be the first one I look for.� He got even closer and snarled �and you WILL resist arrest. I fucking guarantee it. DO I MAKE MY SELF CLEAR SCUMBAG!?�
I�m pretty sure he was serious and I�m fairly positive asshole Joe was very sure he was. The police came over to me and my dad and they shook my hand.
They introduced themselves and Jack said to my dad �sorry about the language but I wanted to use words I thought he would understand.� Pop chuckled and told him it was definitely not a problem and Jack turned to me �son� he said �I admire your restraint. All he has is a broken nose, fractured cheekbone, and ruptured testicle. Personally, I think he got off lucky. My daughter is the same age as Miss Finch. I would have done a lot worse to him. I wish I could give you a medal but I can�t even write a report on your part in this, since it didn�t happen.�
Judy (the policewoman) said �I think that the young lady would be safer with you than at home. Those are the only options we have tonight. The rest will have to be decided later. Her father shouldn�t be a problem. We checked and he had several warrants outstanding for DUI, public intoxication, and failure to appear. Now we can add child endangerment, assault, terroristic threatening, and resisting arrest along with whatever else we can think of before he�s booked.� Judy actually kissed me on the cheek and said �if you ever need anything, call us.� She handed me their cards and added �I wrote our home numbers on the back. I�m serious. Use them if you need to. If you can�t reach us call the station and tell them who you are. Believe me, they�ll recognize the name� with a twinkle in her eye.
She turned to my dad and said �that�s a fine young man there. You should be very proud.� He and I thanked them both and my dad put his arm around me and said that he was. That hit me pretty hard. I could count on one hand the number of times I had heard him say that and have plenty of fingers left, not that I had deserved to hear them then.
We got home very late and got Tina settled in the guest room. I figured that was what would happen and knew it was a good Idea. They had given her some pain killers at the hospital and she dozed off quickly.
My folks set me down in the kitchen to talk. They said that child protective services would be by in the morning to see Tina and us and she had to be seen in HER room. They told me they knew where she would be eventually end up but until things were settled everything had to appear normal.
After the expected morning visit my mom had a shopping trip planned. She didn�t think it was a good idea for Tina to go to her �old" house and had gotten the sizes from her clothes while we were in the ER.
I figured it was past time to tell my mom a few things and sat at the table with them. I broke the news to her about what happened to me but she didn't seem surprised. It was only when I told her about Paula and Tina that I got a reaction. Both of them were still a little shocked at that. Dad got a kick out of the label we'd given ourselves but "retreads" seemed appropriate. We had chosen it for the similarities. We had all been given another layer of life.
When the shock wore off the speculation began as to what the final count would be and I got ribbed about the fact that everyone but me was female a few times. I thought it was damn strange myself. The folks took it pretty much in stride though. I suppose things were already weird enough that a little more didn't matter.
Mom seemed to be even more charged up about Tina joining our family now. My dad warned her not to get her hopes up about being able to get custody and fire shot from her eyes �I dare anybody to get in the way� she flatly stated. �That young lady needs and deserves a loving home. I can�t believe how sweet she still is after living the way she has. Besides, it was meant to be.� She turned to me then �I�m sorry� she said �but your father and I share everything. I already knew about you and Beth. I don�t pretend to fully understand it, but it all fits. I guess I�ll have to miss my youngest son growing up.�
I shook my head �mom� I said �believe me you�ll be much happier that way. I was awful. I was rude, disobedient, disrespectful, and damned unappreciative. I turned out to be a very disappointing son because I didn�t listen to you two. I didn�t appreciate you until it was too late to do anything about it. I promise you that it will be different this time. I�ve got a second chance to get it right. I told her that she now not only had a strange son but two daughters to raise and at least one of the daughters had never had the chance to listen. �I think Tina will be much better at it than I ever was� I added.
Beth and I slept in one of the other bedrooms that night and had breakfast ready for everyone when they stumbled in. Tina was in one of my mom�s robes. It was extremely large on her but she said she refused to be treated like an invalid and wanted to eat with us.
She hugged my dad and thanked him again as Al stumbled in. He hadn�t heard the events from the night before and was filled in by mom and dad as we ate. When they finished he looked at me and told me he was glad that it was me who handled it.
He turned to Tina �see, my newest little sis, it�s like this. Matt was pretty young but I sure remember. We had a cousin who we all loved very much. She was over at our house all the time. She spent more time with us than at home. She even cried every time she had to leave. We didn�t think anything was strange about that until it was too late. Her stepfather had been abusing her for years. My aunt was too scared of him or too stupid to report it. I guess Marcy couldn�t take it anymore and instead of looking for help she found a prescription of my aunts and committed suicide. No one knew about the abuse until the autopsy. So you see if dad, I, or even our mom had been there instead of Matt, the man would be dead.�
He smiled at her then and said �I always wanted a little sister and now I have two, it seems. I�m a little confused though.� Tina was a bit emotional but managed �about what� Al said �Is it sisters or sisters-in-law? I suppose either way it could still be sis but I�m not sure.�
I almost choked on my coffee but Tina kissed him on the cheek and said �we DO live in Kentucky so I suppose there are precedents. Maybe we could look them up?�
Everybody cracked up at her remark and my dad shook his head �where does he find them?� And my mom said �I can see Tina will fit right in here.�
Tina said with sadness �I really hope it works out that way. I really do, but�� Mom interrupted �the only �butt� I want to see is yours on its way back to bed. The nurse told me that the more time you spend there the faster and better you�ll heal. If you behave yourself I�ll let Matt put the salve on later.�
I gave Tina my best leer and in a passable Mike Myers voice, said �OHHhh, BEEHAVVVE!�
Tina kissed my (our) mom and went away muttering and giggling �Austin Powers�.Figures.� Of course everyone heard that and I was almost done explaining when the doorbell rang.
