So what happened?

Penny again.  So what happened?  Well, as soon as we got home, I called my best friends, Caren and Connie, and told them what happened.  (They are my dad’s partner’s girls.)  They came over with their dad and another detective.  Mom said the second detective, a woman, was from missing persons.  Carrie and Connie’s mom came, too, and we all got to admire the little girl.  We named her Merry, as in Merry Christmas. 

Well the next day, we took her and my baby brother to church and Mom tried to work.  I was to keep an eye on them, but the pastor’s wife came and took us all to lunch and the playground.  I heard someone say get them out of their hair.  What does that mean?

I know my dad called the detective from missing persons and they talked to other people, I think it was social services.  It doesn’t matter.  They were talking about Merry and what to do.  I said we should keep her.  It was like Jesus being found in the stable.  I thought it was a miracle.  Mom wasn’t convinced.  Dad says we needed to pray the baby’s mother be found.

I guess that’s the right thing.  If my mother was missing I’d want her to find me.  Dad’s right.  But I still it’s exciting.
