“I think we need to host another dinner party.”

“Why?”

“To introduce Teddy to Robbie, Anthony, and Jamie.”

“Yeah,” Chris said. “That’s not a bad idea, and they’re all close to Teddy in age. Better still, if he gets into St. Mark’s, he’ll already know three kids in his new school.”

“You keep saying ifhe gets in. Are you suggesting that he won’t?”

“Mick, St. Mark’s is a hugely popular school. The fifth grade might already be full.”

“No, it won’t.”

“How can you be so sure?” Chris said.

“Think positively.”

“Okay.”

“Teddy said you got him a computer.”

“Yep.”

“What about parental controls?”

“Shit! I didn’t think about that, probably because I have no idea how to do it.”

“Call Mike,” Mickey said. “It’s his business to know such things.”

“Yeah, will do, first thing in the morning.”
