Mia clapped her hands in approval for her friend. "In the Cedillo family, you're the bee's knees!" She then gave her friend a thumbs up.

Leo also gave his aunt a thumbs up. "You are the coolest aunt."

Molly pounded her chest in pride. "Age comes with wisdom."

Andre, the guardian, quietly listened to their plans.

Determining mental illness was not as simple as one might think. It required specialized equipment for head examinations. Only when the equipment showed abnormal data, would a medical diagnosis of mental illness be issued.

In the evening, after having dinner at home, Leo had to leave again. Before he left, Naomi held her son, repeatedly confirming, "Are you going to do your work near here this time?"

Leo answered, "Yes, Mom, I won't go far. I'll come home every day so you can see me, okay?"

Naomi responded, "That is not necessary. It can get annoying. Just answer my calls."

Leo was upset. He was an only child, but he never enjoyed the privileges of being one. He even asked his mother, "Are you planning to have another baby with Dad?"

If anyone deserved a slap, it was Leo. The slap Naomi gave him resounded throughout the house, and not a single person felt sorry for him.

Bruce shooed him away, "Just go."

Leo, holding his car keys, left gloomily.

Molly grabbed her nephew's arm, disgusted by his cowardice. "Leo, what do you mean by what you said in the backyard? My temperament is enough to give Chad a hard time in the future?"
