Everything in this tale is true, I just changed the names to protect the guilty, all of them.
It's really hard to believe, but we were in our late twenties once That is when this story took place.

4:30 PM FRIDAY - NOVEMBER - 1988
My conversation with Sam went well. I laid out the concept that we were valuable assets of his corporation that could be better utilized, appealing to his own self-interest. He agreed, now the seven of us had a viable set of options to consider. We could not afford at the present time to move into a "good" school district, whatever that meant.
We did not have the expertise or credentials to start our own school, although that was a concept I believed we should explore for the long-term future. The five of us who were rated were all tired of working nights and having a dissimilar schedule from Eva, Kristin and the children. Eva was almost a graduate, she would be finished at Nod before we could act. The time was right for a change.
Mom and dad had thought about looking around the Houston area for a place. Lou was working in Commercial Real Estate there. It was a place which Ethan and Claire ,who parented their other grandchildren, might viably choose. In addition Houston Intercontinental and Hobby were viable locations to base a firm engaged in the aviation industry.
We do everything significant together, and this was certainly significant. We needed to consult with each other, and to consider the available options. Jamie needed to play the Devil's Advocate to my Pollyanna. Eva needed to lead us in serious contemplation of the alternatives, while Kristin made sure that all of our concerns were heard. Lillian needed to figure out the logistics, and George and Punch had to engineer and design our transition.
We needed to find some time to get together and discuss our future.

11:00 AM WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER - 1988
I woke up from my nap Wednesday morning an hour before noon.
Kristin was placing some sirloins that she had removed from the icebox in a tray of marinate. Punch was going to grill them outside for our dinner. She was currently scrubbing the yams she was going to bake for us in the oven, before wrapping them in tinfoil. .
Our dinners were at always at six o'clock. It gave our children a little time to play outside after school, and it let us eat together before the seven o'clock pilot had to leave for the airport. George and I were off this Wednesday night. Punch had to take the seven o'clock west. Jamie had to fly the nine o'clock south.
Lillian had the eleven o'clock to the east, so she would get to play with us later. Lillian and I would play a little game called 'two ride George' with Eva and Kristin. It involved George lying face up on the bed and being ridden cowgirl and reverse cowgirl style. Two being the someone sitting upon his face while he fucked their sister.
There being four sisters, and but one brother, the girls would invariably help keep each other warmed up while awaiting a penis ride, but that is what sisters always do, help their sisters out. While loads of fun, the game could be a little taxing for the boy, so we only played it when he could take a short nap afterward.
After my conversation with the children's principal on Monday I thought I would bring up the subject of only using bottled water. It was well known that radioactive waste from Mallinckrodts' work enriching uranium for the Manhattan Project had leached into Coldwater Creek from old dump sites. The reports said those sites were downstream from us. But based on the idiocy I had just encountered I would not doubt it if some more sites were not found closer by, perhaps directly under the school's office.

"Excuse me," I said.
"Oh yes, I recall now," the Principal said, "we had this same stupid merry-go-round with Lilith and Michelle, the two unrelated Deveraux-O'Connor girls."
"They are not unrelated, they are both simultaneously first-cousins and half-sisters," I said.
"But there isn't a space on our forms for that, so they must remain unrelated," she said.
"I just don't see how it's an issue, or frankly any of the schools business. Each of our children from Debra, the oldest, to Michelle, the youngest know it by heart. Who their mommy is, who their daddy is, the address where they live, their telephone number, and who their cousins, aunts and uncles are. They all know they were created intentionally because we wanted them to be here."
