It was just too crowded. Dad helped me position the chair at the end of the table so that my leg stuck out the side. It didn’t make too much differe...nce since I couldn’t feed myself.“Let me sit over there so I can feed you,” Mom said.“It’s okay, Mom,” Em said. “I’ve got it. There’s lots of things J can’t do without hands. We just need to pitch in.” I almost choked on the bite of mashed potatoes she shoved in my mouth just then. Of course, my parents were oblivious to the underlying. Candice motioned for me to join them, so I quickened my pace and said, "Yeah?" This is Kerry and Allison. They were supposed to be your... gift." Yeah, I kind of worked that out," I said, feeling a bit put-on-the-spot. "I'm sorry, you're very pretty and all, but I'm ahh... Trying to uhm... Well, cut down on that kind of stuff." Ohhhh... " they both whined."But Daddy said," Kerry complained to Candice."Can't you make him want too?" Allison asked Candice."No she can't," I answered for her. "And. He said he was almost 19, and in college. He loved her, and that was that. Your mom tried to forbid it, and said we would cut off our money to him. That was the last time I stepped up before today. I basically told her I loved them both, and if they stayed together and got married I wanted to have a relationship with my grandchildren. Cutting them off she would make that impossible, so I would not do that. She once again said ‘Yes dear’, and that was that.”I heard him take a drink of something.. They usually nit pick a bill to death strictly on principle. But that moving speech from Senator Cauthold reminding the Senate of their duty to those brave spacers who were struck down without warning and the tragedy of those hundreds of unarmed civilians murdered in their beds seemed to motivate them. Of course Jeff, that speech might have been an attempt to strangle moves in his State to not nominate him at the forthcoming election; his record in the Chamber has not been at all spectacular,.
