Tina said “I am fine mommy. ” Her mom said “I am worried about you because you have the tummy flu. You should be drinking gatorade and stuff with electrolytes. ” Tina said “I am fine mommy” again. Monna, a caregiver, said “You woke up this  morning with puke in your hair. ” Tina said “I don’t care mommy. ” “Your hair was covered with barf this morning when you woke up Tina. ” Monna said. “That isn’t good. ” Her mom said. “Why?” Tina said. Her mom said “I am cancelling Mirby then. ” Tina said “Why?” Monna said “Mommy can’t leave Mirby with a puking kid. ”

Tina started crying. Her mom said “Mirby has her brother’s birthday party this weekend down in Iowa anyway. ” Tina said “I don’t care mommy. I want Teddy. ” She said “Teddy is  gone forever. You told me to donate him a long time ago. ” Tina said crying “I want you Teddy. Can we order another one?” She said “No, you had your chance. You blew it. ” Tina said crying “Teddy Teddy, I need you. ” She said “No you don’t. You told me to sell it on eBay last Christmas. ” Tina said “I didn’t. I need him and Mirby mommy. ” She said sternly “Don’t you dare eBay everyone else too. ”

Tina’s mom said to herself “Sod it. Tonight at 12:00 midnight with my sodded cell phone and take pictures of everyone. ” Tina said crying “No mommy. I need Teddy. ” Her mom said  “Teddy is gone forever. This subject has been brought up twice since we moved here. This is why we have to always live with you. There will be no Mirby D. believing you there is a green teddy this weekend while me and daddy are in St. Louis and next week in Canada. ” She said “Why? I need Teddy. ” Her mom said “Boy oh boy, I am going to have my work cut out before we leave. “
