There was a knock at the door. It was his mother. "Hey, sweetie," she said. "I see that you set your cloning machine up. Have you tried it out yet?" Jon's mom, as per his wish, did not find it the least bit strange that he had a cloning machine.
"I was just about to, Mom," said Jon. Jon suddenly had an idea. "Would you like to make a clone, Mom?"
"Are you sure, sweetie?" asked his mom. "I mean, you just got it and you haven't had a chance to test it out for yourself yet."
"Of course, I'm sure," said Jon. "You're my mom, and I love you. I was planning on letting other people, like Karyn, you and Zoe, make clones for themselves. Besides, it will let us know how well it works."
"If you're sure, sweetie," said Jon's mom. "I think I know what kind of clone I'd like to make."
