then I thought; No! Im his kid。 He wouldnt do that …

would he?

I looked around at everything we had — the big house; the white carpet; the antiques and

artwork and stuff that was everywhere。 Would they have

given up all the stuff to make my life more pleasant?

I doubted it; and man; I doubted it big…time。 Id have been an embarrassment。 Something to
