Eli: Hello all! Thanks for the reviews! Keep them coming! Here's a bit of madness for you. Enjoy!



Sara was just gazing out the window, wondering if Bethany had seen the future in her nightmare. And if she really did, would it be better to let Ian know, or just try to change it another way. Jamie soon grabbed her attention though.

"Mommy, what's this word?" He handed over a huge hard cover book that Sara knew that even she would have a hard time reading.

"Uh okay. Which word, honey?" He pointed down to a word.

"That one."

Sara looked and then went into shock. Her mouth hung open briefly before she gained her senses and pondered on what to say.

"Mommy?"

"Um, that word is 'intercourse'."

"Oh." Jamie tilted his head to the side. "Mommy, why would they enter a course?"

Sara thought out her words carefully. "That's not what it means, Jamie."

"Then what DOES it mean, mommy?"

'Oh God, what to say?! How do you explain this to a five year old?' Sara thought. Then she smirked and said

"Jamie, go ask daddy what it means."

"Oh, okay." Jamie ran out of the room. Sara sighed out of relief and went back to staring out the window.

She was surprised when Jamie came back a minute later and pulled on her sleeve.

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Daddy said for you to tell me."

"Tell daddy mommy said for him to tell you."

"Okay." Jamie ran out again, but came back almost as soon as he had left.

"Daddy said why?"

"Tell daddy because he gave you the book."

Jamie nodded and ran back and forth again.

"Daddy said you're the one that wants him to read those books."

"Tell him that this isn't an argument and to tell you."

Jamie ran back out. He didn't come back immediately, so Sara thought she had won. Then Jamie came back in.

"He says I know it's not an argument, and that you should tell him cause I'm not doing it."

"Tell daddy I'm not doing it either."

Jamie went back out, and then ran back in.

"Daddy says I suggest you do it before I tell the kids about Daniel."

'Oh, here comes the black mail. That man is going down!'

"Tell daddy that I suggest you tell him before I accidentally put all your comics in the shredder."

"Okay." Jamie ran out and in.

"Daddy says you wouldn't! Or else I would have to take away all your guns as revenge."

"Tell daddy that if you even think about touching my guns, that I'll take away your swords!"

Jamie sighed at all this running and walked out and back in.

"Daddy says hollow words, Sara."

Sara's face showed that she was starting to get really pissed.

"Tell him that I'm sure Beth would like to hear about how Moby kicked a certain white boy's butt."

Jamie walked out, dragging his feet. He didn't come back immediately. It took ten minutes for him to come back.

"Daddy gave me a note for you." He handed her the note. Sara opened the letter.





Dear Sara,

You evil, horrible woman! Black mailing me on things that were beyond my control!

You know, love, that I usually do your bidding, but you must do this on your own. Do I really need to remind you who gave ME this talk?

I remember everything he said perfectly, but I'm sure neither you nor Jamie could listen to it without going into tears. (Let's not discuss the olden days of darkness.)

So, if you don't wish for Jamie to be traumatized with some major emotional scaring, I think you'll find it worthwhile for you to tell him.

Ian



Sara sighed and turned back to Jamie. "Tell him alright, but he owes me big time."

Jamie ran back and forth one last time.

"He said thank you, I love you, and he is forever in your debt."

"He better live up to that."

"So mommy, the definition?"

"Oh yeah." Then she went off to explain the miracle of life.
