My father walked over to the passenger side and opened my door. "You coming in Sugar plum? Your mom and I really would like to explain everything to you."

  My mother who I completely forgot was sitting beside me finally spoke up. "Yes sweetheart we adopted you when you were a month old. When we brought you home we were the happiest we had ever been.
