"Do the silly thing!" Jake said again.
"I can't. I'm too busy flying this helicopter to the moon."

Back home, Good put Jake down for a nap and fixed Abby a snack. Lately, Abby has taken to coloring on the faces in the newspaper, asking Good to write "Crazy" on top and then hanging them around the house. Good helped her organize her first art show. But instead of art this afternoon, Abby chose a pile of books and climbed onto Good's lap. He read to her.
A biological fluke? An evolved, caring male?
