Ian's eyes flew open abruptly. Light even shone in his usually listless eyes. He looked straight at the little Mia, who lowered her head and said, "Grand-uncle Ian, I know I shouldn't be borrowing money from you, but my money is all with Mommy. She doesn't let me ask Daddy for money, either. Brandon has a loose tongue, so he'll definitely tell Mommy if I borrow money from him. After thinking about it, you're the only one I can ask."
Mia glanced at him in embarrassment and said, "But if you don't have any, it's okay…"
As soon as she said that, Ian smiled and said, "I do. I'll give my little Mia some."
Mia's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Grand-uncle Ian!"
Ian then asked, "Can you tell me about this classmate of yours?"
Mia nodded. With a look of admiration on her face, she said, "Cheryl Smith is amazing! Not only can she turn into a little boy, but she can also turn into a little girl!"
