"Now listen, Brenna. Michelle is like a baby. She has a lot of growing up to do. We are gonna try to help her. She may do some things that are normal for girls your age. You need to help her. You need to remind her to go to the bathroom and you may have to help her go.", Magenta explained.
"Is she retarded?", Brenna asked bluntly. Kids are brutally honest.
Magenta looked at Brenna, "No sweetie. She is very young in terms of her brain age. We are trying to help her learn to speak and learn to behave as a girl of thirteen. I want you to take her to the park and play with her. I want you to talk to her a lot. Announciate your words very clearly. Help her learn to speak. She is very, very bright but she needs guidance and you can help her with that, Admiral Montgomery."
Magenta snapped to attention. Nicole walked into the room. She looked at Magenta, "What are you doing?"
Magenta looked at Nicole, "Admiral on the deck."
Brenna giggled as her mothers stood at attention and saluted. Magenta looked at Brenna, "Can you handle the mission?"
"Yes, Officers.", Brenna saluted back and left laughing.
"You guys are so weird.", Brenna shut the door and took Michelle by the hand heading for James Kirk Elementary to play in the park.
Nicole burst out laughing, "Admiral Brenna Montgomery... I was kinda hoping she would be Governor."
"Can't be any worse than the one we got.", Magenta gleefully chuckled.
