After we eat, the party moves to the living room there is a table full of presents. Calvin, Teresa, and Darrel are waiting as Monika motions for me to... sit beside her on the couch. Monika starts unwrapping presents as everyone watches. After each gift, she thanks everyone. She finally gets to mine, which is the last gift. I’m excited to see what I got her since I gave Jenny the money to get something for her. Jenny never told me what she bought and I never asked.“From George,” Monika says. " You are a heartless woman you know, but I still love you very much," Ilet her know.Sitting in the car I told her, "I'm so pleased I decided to put my Gaffon today as a few times I could feel it trying to stand up for me,"knowing whose idea it was that I wear it. No remark came my way, just asideways look and a little slap to the side of my leg.At home with my little purchases, I didn't know where to start, have myfirst yellow capsule or put my new shoes on? Dilemma, dilemma. Well itwas all. Sven is eager to follow what our girls would do together, when everyone will get wet and sweaty.The girls are shy now, under our eyes. They just sit next to each other, a bench higher than we.From their looks and giggles it seems Sven lost eye-contact with them. Indeed he seems asleep!Alex gets up, walks up to him, slaps his face a bit. "Hey dad, time for a cold bath or to bed?"Sven answers "Yes, dear" and his eyes close again. We help him to his bed. Time to party perhaps?I look at my. "Yeah!" Cassie giggles, nodding and doing a (technically very poor)pirouette. "I love dancing!" You haven't even had your first lesson yet," dad chuckles as he takesCassie's hand and leads her, George and myself out to his car."Well I know I'll love it anyway!" Cassie says with a broad grin. Afterwe drop George off at his house, Cassie turns to me with a quizzicallook on her face."Why ARE you friends with George?" The tiny girl asks. "Your girlfriends are much nicer than him..." I have to have.
