A Wonderful Start to a Day

Daddy and I just had breakfast. We were part of a cozy little foursome which included my dad, Chairman Mao, Electra, and myself. Electra was in hog's heaven. She didn't quite know which male's attention she preferred more, although I think my dad won on that competition. She can throw herself at Chairman Mao any day. My dad is available for that purpose only on special occasions. When the pseudos visit late this week, I'll try to get them in and out of the ward without encountering her. I'm not particularly concerned that PseudoUncle will break any marriage vows in response to Electra's advances, but I'd like to spare him the whole ordeal of her attention.

After a counseling session, I'm going with Daddy to one of his hospitals while he works for a few hours. We'll then have lunch, followed by hurdling and diving. We'll have dinner back in the loony bin. I'm not sure what we're doing here tonight. There may be a ping pong tournament. If my dad gave even a half-hearted effort he would win, but he probably doesn't want to take out a kid. I'll tell him that he should play the winner after the tournament. All the kids want to play him anyway. He's incredibly popular in our wing.

My dad told me that he wanted to name me Aubrey, but that my mom wanted Alexis and he gave in. I wonder if my personality or my life would have been any different if my name had been Aubrey instead of Alexis.
