Rosie had Mira and Sara's full attention at the dinner table as she re-counted the events of her day.

"Two kids getting hurt one right after the other is really something. So sad," Sara remarked.

"Did the little girl ever return to class or was she taken home?" Mira asked.

"She went home. Her parents came for her," Rosie indicated.

"Thing is… both of them were very mean to me and even though I never wanted anything bad to happen to them, I wasn't really sad when it did. I was only a little sad. Does that make me a bad person?"

Sara quickly reached across the table and patted Rosie's hand.

"No, it doesn’t make you a bad person, pumpkin. It makes you human. You couldn't be bad if you tried. You're too sweet a person to be that way."

"Mom's right," Mira added. "You were still hurt by the way they treated you and that's why you felt that way. Doesn't mean you didn't care. We understand that."

"I really hope they'll be all right," Rosie said earnestly.

"I know. I hope so too," Mira replied.

Sara smiled as she looked at her granddaughter.

"I forgot to mention something," Rosie said minutes later. "This boy named Harry said aloud that I was talking to myself in class and that I was crazy, but I didn't know what he was talking about. I felt so ashamed."

Mira's chewing of her salad slowed. "Were you talking to someone just before he said that?" she asked. Sara glanced her way.

"Cara. I was talking to Cara."

"Cara? You mean the little girl you met at Bobby's place. His neighbor?"

"Uh huh." Rosie swallowed a spoonful of mashed potatoes.

"What was she doing at your school?" Mira probed.

"She goes there now."

"Since when? She wasn't there when you started, right?"

"No. Her first day was today. She told me yesterday that she'd be starting there today."

Sara was looking at Mira, imagining what was sailing through her mind.

"I'd like to meet Cara's parents," Mira indicated.

Rosie looked at her mother suspiciously. "Why?"

"Well, she's your new friend and it's important for me as your mother to get to know who her parents are. Didn't I meet the parents of all your friends at your other school?"

Rosie nodded.

"Excuse me?" Mira gazed at her.

"Yes, ma'am," Rosie responded softly.
