Mom! Cordelia? What happened to your face? Who did this?

tell me who did this I made a wooden bear carving at school this afternoon I wanted to give it to dad so I went to his office to surprise him I didn't knock but but dad was holding some woman and he didn't have any clothes on she hit me and shoved me out of the office dad saw it he didn't help me he said I was embarrassing him and told me to go home what Cordelia what woman would dare

hit you. Come here. Let me put some medicine on that cut and tell me exactly what happened. Does it still hurt? No mom, am I the one who did something wrong? I shouldn't have run into dad's office without knocking. No Cordelia, you did nothing wrong. You're his daughter. Bringing him a gift on Father's Day was

a beautiful thing to do. Come on, tell me what happened. Who was the woman who hit The really mean woman. I think she came to our house about a month ago. She looked so scary. Mom, who is she?
