Today I have to see counselor Marty. But Mother says to call him 'Mr. Mort.' But I won't. And he will call me Mist. Because that is my Earth name.
But Mother tells me otherwise. She says, "Missy, your name is Missy."
"Mother, I will not be here long. I cannot stay long. Sheer and Fallen need me. We have tea with the prince soon." Then she snickers and seats me down for a reality check in the 'reality chair.' I do not like the Reality Chair. Fallen says the Queen does not approve of this punishment. That she says, "It simply is not a punishment, but more of a treat. You get a break from the Earth surrounding you. The Earth that is not good. Only Saquoar is good. Earth is not good." Then she fiddles with her shawl, pricks her finger, and mutters one of her daily plans. Today it was, "Miss Madaim has tea with the prince. How wonderous. Pretty soon he'll marry that goat that stalks me." Fallen said she does not approve of the chair, nor me. But I am fortunate enough to live in Saquoar with no interruption.
Anyway, now it is time to leave. I have to see that counselor. "Dearest Missy, it is time for your counselor meeting. Are you prepared." I tore off all my clothes and stood in the middle of the kitchen. "No, mother! I am not!" She walked in the kitchen and turned beat red. "MISSY! There is a window RIGHT THERE!! Have you no sense at ALL?"
"I have sense."
"Oh, yes that is why we see a counselor every day instead of school."
"Mother, that is your fault!" She carried me outside and screamed, "HEY WORLD, MY DAUGHTER IS NAKED!!! COME LOOK!!!" I panicked then covered myself. "MOM!!!"
"Well, Missy. Standing in front of the kitchen window butt naked is the same as standing on the porch and telling the whole world about it!"
