TPR enjoyed fostering so much that he decided to adopt an eight year-old boy and a toddler. This was a great surprise to me, but I if he were to become a parent late in life, so would I. I selected a baby girl as my new daughter.

TPR was very unhappy with my choice. To get rid of the baby, he pricked her with a pin. All the air expired from her tiny body, then her skin flattened out into a medieval map of the known world.
