"AJ, read my book pweeze!" begged little Andi handing AJ her 'Winnie the Pooh' Book, "I luv you."
Taking the book and starting to read it again for the sixth time, AJ Roberts thought he would do anything for Andi, because he was in love with her and wanted to marry her when they grew up. She was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. He read the story of Winnie the Pooh. With Christopher Robin and the hundred Acre Woods. With Roo, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. Once he had finished reading the story Andi jumped up, "I want to be Piglet!"
"You're Andi, and to pretty to be a pig!" laughed AJ. "My, Andi."
"NO! My name is Piglet and you're, Tigger, forever!" insisted Andi stomping her tiny foot. "Don't want to be Andi."
"Please, Andi, take your book and we'll go get a snack," suggested AJ.
"Hum, Hum, no Andi here only Piglet," replied Andi turning her back to him. "Piglet, Piglet, Piglet!"
"An...Piglet want to swing?" he asked holding her hand they walked to the swings. "I'll push you."
"Tigger, going to swing Piglet," laughed Andi hugging AJ. "You my, Tigger. I luv you, Tigger."
"Yes, Piglet, I'm your Tigger and I love you." AJ smiled so happy his girlfriend loved him.
"You always be my Tigger and I'll be your Piglet, forever," said Andi kissing him on the cheek before
climbing in the swing."
"Yes, Piglet, forever," whispered AJ. "Your Tigger will love you."

McLean, Virginia
Kara Chegwidden had just picked up the mail to find her first royalty check for her latest sci-fi action thriller that she had written. She was in a great mood; well, until she got in the house and her eldest daughter wanted to talk to her.
"Mom, I want to get the birth control shot…not the five year one just the one year one," sixteen year old Andi surprised her mother with this announcement as they were making dinner that night.
Almost dropping the bag of carrots she had gotten out of the fridge, Kara turned to Andi and said, "Darling, you aren't even sixteen yet!"
"I know, but you and dad have always said be responsible, and since I will be sixteen next month and I want to have sex on my birthday, I want to be ready!" she announced cheerfully.
"Andi, does that mean that you haven't done anything yet?"
"Not yet, but I wanted to do something really special for my sixteenth birthday. I love AJ and he loves me I thought, why wait? That would really make it a birthday to remember," sighed Andi.
"Darling your father would just freak, and most likely kill AJ!" her mother warned.
"Mom, he doesn't have to know. I only need the permission of one parent. You do still qualify as a parent. Just leave Dad out of it, please," begged Andi.
"I should hope I qualify as your parent!" Kara said, as she cut the carrots into chunks and put them in with the roast. She knew that there would be three hungry men at the table soon. Thank god they were still outside doing yard work with Noel.
"Well, Mom, will you sign the permission form for me to have the birth control shot? I'm trying to be smart about this and do the right thing, by acting like an adult. Of course there are other ways I could go," muttered Andi to herself while munching on a carrot.
"Andrea Joy Chegwidden, don't threaten me! You spring this on me and expect me to make a decision now? There will be some conversation about it before I do anything!"
To be continued…..
