Don Larsen sat on the sofa and opened the letter with great anticipation. He turned to the pretty young blonde beside him. Smiling, he patted her hand, beginning to read out loud:
Dear Dad,
We were so glad to receive your letter and especially the picture of Julie. We're happier than you'll ever know that you decided to get married again. Can't wait to welcome Julie (or should we say "Mom"?) with open arms.
School is great, doing especially well in English this term. See you both at vacation time.
Love and kisses to you and "Mom"!
Your devoted twins,
Tim and Bennie.
"You see! I told you, you had nothing to worry about. You and the boys will get on fine!" Don was very pleased with the letter. The school seemed to be doing wonders for the twins.
"Such sweet boys!" Julie cried. "Oh Don, I can't wait to get to know them!"
At Scotsdale School for Boys, Tim taped the picture of their new stepmother up on the wall in their room.
"You know," Tim said reflectively. "I'll bet her pussy looks a lot like Dad's old wife Carolyn's did."
"Yeah," replied Bennie, thoughtfully. "I'll bet it does."
