Chapter 22 – Thanksgiving Week
Angie: Yeah, mom, that was a big hit. Uncle Sonny loved it.
Bette: I didn’t get much time with kids today. I noticed you guys helped out with them in the pool. That was sweet of you.
Suzanne: That was fun. I don’t think I’ve had that much fun in a while.
Daniel: Well, now that they are all learning to swim, they are a bit more fun.
Suzanne: Are Dana and Allyson’s parents married?
Tina: Yes, they are. They adopted Dana and Allyson as infants. Jason and Lillabette are Lisa and James’s children. And Lisa is expecting a third child in the spring.
Daniel: Is it a boy or a girl?
Bette: They have chosen not to find out. They are preparing for either.
Suzanne: And Shay and Jordan are Shane and Bobbie’s sons?
Tina: No. Shay is Shane’s half-brother. Shane was his guardian for a period of time during his elementary school years and then he went to live with his father. His father was killed and he came to live with Shane and Bobbie. They are his parents more or less even though I don’t think they legally adopted him. Jordan is Bobbie’s son and Shane became his other parent when they got together. Now they are a happy family.
Suzanne: Wow, they seem like brothers. They even look like brothers. And they also are nice looking.
Bette: Suzanne, most of our friends are gay. Kit who is my sister, her husband Sonny, James who is like a younger brother to me and his wife Lisa are the only non-gay in the bunch. Well, except maybe Mary and Margaret. And they have yet to declare so we will just call them fluid for the moment.
Mary: Oh, do we have to make a declaration? I’m not familiar with the protocols here.
Bette: No mom. You do not have to make a declaration or tag a label on yourself or your relationship. But I must warn you that people will apply one to you especially if they are trying to deal with trying to be politically correct. And they may or may not get it correct.
Mary: And what is the correct label, may I ask?
Tina: Whatever you say it is. You are who you say you are. You define your label. And that is that.

Great solution for helping Suzanne. I also like the various positive ways for her to repay the loan. Maybe 10 years down the road as she repays the loan it gets distributed again. When she has paid it off they can tell her the truth and they all can create an on going scholarship for deserving Yalie with B & T millions!!!!
So, get writing those 10+ years.
Thanks, I love your work!
You do realize that Suzanne’s solution originated with the investigation of Melvin Porter? Its one of the things that I admire about Bette. She absorbs the nuggets of wisdom which appear from various sources. I do like the fact that Bette and Tina want to help Suzanne but do not want Suzanne to be aware of where this help is coming from. And with this solution, neither Angie nor Suzanne will be in a position of being obligated to the other. If for some reason, their friendship sours, Suzanne will keep her support. And if anything should happen that Bette and Tina do not survive until Suzanne finishes her education, the money will still be there to assist her.
I like Suzanne as a friend for Angie… I like that she has red hair and is studious like Angie and perhaps a little more so. Do not look for any romance ever between Angie and Suzanne… that is just not in the cards and it would be a disaster for both of them.
Thank you for reading and commenting… I appreciate you pointing out Suzanne’s solution.
