He raved about what a swell "guy" Mabel is and insisted that we invite her and her husband to dinner. I finally agreed. That was last spring.

Mabel doesn't look like a guy to me. She looks plenty female. Her husband is a dumb cluck. Recently Mabel had to be hospitalized for an old back injury. My husband and I went to see her twice.

He has continued to visit her, and he always takes one of our sons along. Mabel is young enough to be my husband's daughter and I honestly believe he feels fatherly toward her. Also, we have a family of boys and he has always wanted a daughter. Please don't tell me to wake up and smell the coffee as I have read that phrase in your column six times this year.
