"Son," sighed Snoddi, "when I told you to keep your crying inside, I overstepped my bounds. Do you hear that music?"
"I know, "dad," & yes," returned Rhodes.
"I don't expect, but hope," said Snoddi, "you'll forgive my ignorance."
" 'Dad'?" came Desiree, "I have a question."
"Let's take a FAMILY vacation!" inserted Runni, brightly.
"What is it, Desiree?" asked Snoddi, giving Runni a meaningful glance.
"Why did you stop talking to me?" asked Desiree.
"I figured out, eventually, that you were handling my mom's X to your satisfaction," answered Snoddi, "& that philosophy wouldn't disturb the course of nature."
"Ah," said Desiree.
"You mean Stallion was only a surrogate?" asked Rhodes. "Then where'd I get THIS?"
"Heh," said Snoddi, "use your eyes, son."
"I've painted us reservations through Brazil," said Runni, "with a nice layover in Rio."
"Can I come?" asked Chuck.
"You'll need to wash off first," answered Runni, "since it appears that you can."
