"One of our daughters, Patrishia, was present when he, Sally, had his interview," the Countess pointed out as she handed me a photo of one of her maids. The young man in the photo was- "Excuse me Countess," I broke into her story with. "Is Sally a-" I stopped as I tried to think of a more polite way of asking my question.  "A third kind, intersexed?" she provided. "An O? A girl with a breaker? A boy with the curves?" she continued.  "Intersexed," I picked.  "Yes," she agreed before she held her hand out for the photo. I quickly gave it back.  "Patrishia was so impressed by his size, that she assigned him to wake up calls. I don't remember if that was before or after she took this photo," the Countess tried to recall. I had no problem remembering the photo that I just handed over.

I told her that she was more than welcome for the photo and that I was looking forward to seeing it in the frame she made for it. Her floating hearts kept me happy as I opened a game that I hadn't played since we left home.  "Want to get out and stretch your legs or use the bathroom?" Dad asked me. I looked up and saw as the car turned off the highway and drove towards a rest stop. The sign said that there was a gas station, a Wendy's, a subway, and a Taco Bell.  "Sure," I said as I fished around the seat for the power cord for my phone. I might as well cha
