Simon paused. "Wait," he mumbled. "I am one of the family."
Mikey looked at him. "Let me ask you a question," he asked, with his now customary bluntness. "When you look in the mirror now, do you see a stranger, or does it feel like you?"
Simon paused, thinking about the question. "....Me."
"So, it's weird, but go with it," Mikey suggested.
"How'd you get so smart?"
Mikey shrugged. "Beats me. I mean, it couldn't have come from Zoe, right?" He said, a bit jokingly.
Jon returned holding his phone. "Come on...it's off to the supermarket. I hope the girls...boys..." he paused again, "I hope Laura, Zoe, and Mikey have fun too." He paused. "I'm never getting used to that," he commented.
"Someone told me, it's weird, but go with it," Simon said.
"Sounds like good advice," Jon said.
