vThe little girl sits at the table, innocently playing with her spoon while watching her mother.
“Mom, while you were at work, a strange lady came into the house.”
Mom, who is busy putting away the groceries, stops suddenly.
“A strange lady? We’ll see when Dad gets home.”
The tone is dry, but the little girl shrugs unimpressed.
A few hours later, Dad arrives. He had just put down his briefcase when Mom stared at him with her arms crossed, as if ready for a fight.
“So, tell Dad what you told me before,” he asks the little girl.
The little girl jumped up from her chair, excited.
“A lady has arrived, Dad!” She was very pretty and wearing a shiny red dress. She said she was coming to help you find your… documents?”
Dad is paralyzed with shock. His face turns pale and he begins to stammer:
“Uh… documents, you mean?”
