I'm glad Andy decided to try to work it out with the twins first. But I'm sure Miranda is going to find out one of these days. Especially since Rachel knows.
Favorite lines:
She looked like she’d just gone three rounds in the cage with the Jolly Green Giant’s pissed off older brother!
“Don’t I have any choice in the matter?” ... "You want a navy one or one that's white?"
Thanks for the read.

I like those lines too. It's going to be interesting to see what happens when Miranda learns about what happened ... and how she learns about it. But first, Andy and the girls need to work a few things out. Thanks for the feedback.

True. Miranda should be told. I just wouldn't want to be the one to do so. Especially since Andy's just passed up a good opportunity to alert her to what happened. Methinks that the longer it takes to come to her attention, the more vigorous the reaction is likely to be -- just because someone has had the nerve to keep her out of the loop. Time will tell. Thanks for following along and taking the time to comment.

Hey there! Just a short thanks for this chapter! I am glad Andy's back on her, well not feet, but at least she's not crawling around on the ground anymore. The lines about the wristbands were my favorites as well! Ooh, and I'm pretty excited for chapter 14, hmmm...

This is the last time I intend to maul Andy -- though my muses may have other plans, of course. Rest assured, she will heal without blemish.

Part Twelve on Sunday, Parts Thirteen and Fourteen a week hence, and the finale a week from Sunday. After which I'll need to catch up on work and get serious about the next opus, which I think will be the events at the end of the first arc from Miranda's POV. Or maybe Sunday brunch with Miranda from Andy's POV.

Oooh. So many stories, so little time. Which is to be expected for, as Muriel Rukeyser wrote, "The universe is made of stories, not of atoms."

canny wait till you update
as i get the feeling that andy might be dreading the conversation more than the kids little monsters that they are

excellent as always
THANKS

[medora_macd]

Thanks for the continuing interest and commentary. And yes, it will be interesting to see how Andy handles conversations about these events. There are so many different ways they could go!

It was wrong of Andy to not tell Miranda what the twins did, that's part of their
problem everyone makes excuses for them and hide what they did.

Andy really could have gotten hurt worse than she did.

And the aide should have put down exactly what happened, it must be a new policy but when I worked as as a nursing assistant any injury and how it happened was a requirement.

[medora_macd]

You make excellent points, all of them. I think Andy hasn't really figured out all these angles yet. She's new to this aspect of life and going to be learning by making mistakes in part.

As for the official log, it *might* be possible for an aide to put down "client fell this afternoon between aide visits and scratched herself on rusty garden trellis; first aid applied, etc." without mentioning the girls, who after all were not there when it happened. On the other hand, we could also chalk that up to artistic license.

I appreciate the advice, though, particularly from one with more experience than I've had in this area. I'd like to be as accurate as I can within the limits of story telling and comments like yours help me do that. Thanks so much for taking the time to share them.
