oh no no no not at all your daughter is

an amazing person mr. Tyler Jenny's not

my daughter I'm just taking care of her

while I'm mother's out of town for a

while what's so funny I I'm sorry it's

just that you know I automatically just

assumed that jenny was your daughter and

all day long people were assuming that

she was my daughter so I know exactly

all right

anyway it was really nice to talk to you

yeah how'd you come across Jenny anyway

hello hello

hey Jenny it's me mr. dodo Harrison

tells me you've been in your room long

enough come on

better hurry

where are you over here kid don't be

afraid I'm not afraid

silly who's afraid of a stuffed dodo

anyway you got a point there kid

so what do you have how about some hot

chocolate where's Harrison was probably

around here somewhere

what do you say kid how about some

marshmallows without hot chocolate I

love marshmallows how people get mad at

each other

well I've never been able to figure that

one out I think it's because they get

really scared

who else get scared - of course they do

everybody gets scared then they get mad

at each other they say things they don't

really mean yeah you're right I'm sorry

for yelling at Harrison earlier well I'm

sure he probably forgives you am I going

through a midlife crisis

no kid you have plenty of years ahead of

you can I ask you a question sure like

my friend Cindy and Charlotte Suzie well

I don't know kid where's your mom say

she said that friend Frederick she asked

her to marry me my dad well then I guess

we'll have a dad my real dad I mean

besides she barely even paid any

attention to me but mom sometimes

doesn't it was very attention to me Alec

Harrison pays a lot of attention to me

well I think it's safe to say I could

speak for Harrison - I wouldn't tell you

that he loves talking to you also

I'm jealous I'm sorry I made you worry

earlier I'm sorry I got so angry with

you I was just upset you know you didn't

call me to come pick you up

keep eating cream cheese like that could

be lucky if you reach 70 well if you

weren't so lazy and you learned how to

cook you wouldn't have to come here

every morning I like it here isn't she

better make breakfast at home it's so

expensive in you

you want juice or milk huh chocolate

milk

hey how you doing

she's given into my magical charms hey

look I am I just want to get from with

you okay

I see you here every day I just I just

really want to talk to you that's all

my dog seems to have accepted you yeah

you know no I see you here every day by

yourself you're always reading a

different book and well me being a

writer I thought we could talk so what

are you write well mystery suspense you

know pretty eclectic stuff I just try to

write something this commercial

oh right you want to make a lot of money

never be nice yeah why don't you read

something you care about

oh I'm not sure what I care that would

be of any interest to anyone else or

sell well whatever makes you happy

oh I always forget to take these with

food I actually have an iron deficiency

really yeah my search always wrinkled so

does that usually work with all the

girls no just the ones down to logic

I gotta go I gotta get to work

luckily it was nice to talk to you again

come on

people who like each other avoid each

other I don't know I guess people are

just afraid to show their true emotions

everybody has a comfort zone you know

meaning that they're comfortable just

where they are just how they are yeah

and once you view that lifestyle well

you're leaving your comfort zone you're

afraid to show how they feel are you

afraid to show me how you feel don't

what do you like me or not that you'd

want me to stay with you yeah I like you

enough that I want you stay with me

but Kat I'm just a friend of your

mother's yeah I have no legal right to

you whatsoever adopt me

adopt you I can't even take care of

myself

what makes you think I could take care

of you well I can take care of you and

I'll adopt you I thought sure that's a

possibility that I'll tell you what I'll

look into it

hello oh hey yeah she is as a reminder

she has no piano lessons as a matter of

fact she has no lessons at all no just a

misunderstanding all right pretty good

I've been admitted to the bar hey I'll

do to that you know you're in size of

humor never ceases to astound me

academically it's perfect for her and

it's private she is a passport your

school requires it for foreign students

I applied for it before I left so it

should be ready what I need you to do is

fax me a copy up here yeah sure no

problem

sure Harrison but listen make it fast

I'm at the airport I'm flying to

Philadelphia to meet with read a new

client look Jenny and I are getting

along great and she really likes it here

I'm not gonna have a repeat of what

happened last time okay really do you

really gets into this stuff yeah you

should see him when he acts like mr.

dota stories are so great he makes them

up as he goes along

yeah so what's he gonna do with them

nothing he's Friends of time writing

other stories on his typewriter boring

stuff oh well then it was a very good

idea that we get these down on paper do

you ever wanna get married yeah yeah I

did

why do you want to get married oh well

there was this blank kindergarten named

Corey we talked about marriage but his

dad said we had to wait until Corey

stopped applying the bed oh well I guess

that does seem pretty sensible besides

he ate the finger paints

why didn't you get marry pretty much the

same reason actually it's like this long

dull story and I'm not gonna bore you

with it sad story well let's just say

he's not exactly what he appeared to be

so rain graham crackers all night and

mr. dodo got his bedtime snack after all

I have an idea how'd you like some

graham crackers yeah

is this the mother's maiden name

Merson that's correct oh ho your

daughter is adorable her photo turned

out very well I'm not her father oh now

I must have you sign that receipt form

and and here's a copy of her birth

certificate we can have that back now oh

I also must see a copy of your driver's

license mr. Tyler just to confirm that

you really are her father after how we

can't be giving out passports to just

anyone these days

I'm not her father how'd you know my

name

well is all the information on the birth

certificate correct for the child

is anything wrong

oh just when were you planning to tell

me that she's my daughter how did you

the birth certificate look I would have

found out sooner or later

I never asked you for a nickel and child

support but this child needs has nothing

to do with money just a minute I am

deeply touched I have been both mother

and father to that little girl for the

first six years of her life I did

without your help then and I can

continue to do so now if you've even

attempted to get a real job

maybe I would have told you about her

then you see what I'm saying it's all

about the money with you Melissa yes yes

it is

wake up Harrison one of the best schools

in North America I am going to see to it

that Jenny gets a good start in life a

week from Thursday

know why I love you and so he pulled

apart the bars of the cage with his

powerful wings keep going and he flew to

the top of the trees

doodles can't fly daddy right okay so he

climbed to the top of the trees and when

he got to the top he pulled out his

binoculars and he scanned the distant

horizon but there was dawn there he

seemed to be all alone once again

don't need to be with somebody you're

around simply to feel complete I admire

you for that

yeah it says about about you

this stranger walk down the beach she

had long flowing blonde hair and she was

mysterious she had dark blue eyes as

blue as the ocean man this is really bad

she's pretty huh

there it is

the rim of the world how'd you meet her

mom oh I went to high school

together I was a freshman she was a

senior it was doomed from the start but

we made it work for a while we almost

got married you know we ended up break

you know six seven years ago

so she was way too serious

she's never laughs to any of my jokes

well I've never heard you say anything

funny okay for you I mean all of a

sudden somebody tells you hey you have a

daughter

yeah I don't understand how she could

keep something like that from you I

don't know I just I think she thought

I'd be a responsible father right now I

might have to get a regular job and she

knew it

well what she didn't can't believe in

your writing just thought I was playing

with it you know she didn't know that I

was really serious about him I really

loved me

what a vacant no I bet you are

I mean I think oh gosh that's really

funny oh right like you've read anything

those two articles and the progressive

farmer last year but yeah yeah that's it

subscription savings right hey pumpkin

thing yeah well give it a chance Holly I

mean just because we're becoming friends

comfortable with you I'm really starting

to trust you you know I haven't been

able to do that in a really long time

before you know and I just I don't want

time it's the best I can do in the

classifieds classifieds

a great storyteller here why don't you

hold this for luck okay now you sure

that's the right address yeah I copied

it from one of these other envelopes all

Fred and I came back a week early we're

gonna take you up to Canada with us I'm

sorry honey there's nothing I can do

come with me and no arguing

don't make this dude

well mr. Tyler in order for you to even

consider serving her with custody papers

you've got to be able to show that

you're financially stable what's the

definition of financially stable well

that you can comfortably pay your bills

and support the child for the time you

have her how much that gonna cost

well mr. Tyler it's not cheap if you

want to have her in your full custody

you'll also be responsible for putting

her through school look it's got to be

full custody okay

the visitation rights to and from Canada

are gonna cost more than a college

education alone I would suggest that you

keep me informed on your job search

until then we're wasting each other's

time yeah thanks for your time mr.

Sullivan I'm sorry mr. Tyler I know this

must be difficult for you sometimes you

do need money to buy happiness this guy

writes nothing but pulp novels you

having a market for that right now

to give you it's from mr. Tyler

another gimmick mr. dodo rings the bell

probably a murder mystery for children

with you I can't help recalling must be

deja vu first time we met I felt

impaction I've blood started pumping

like a iesson reaction something special

between us too early to define his

delicate and precious like a fine rare

wine I stared deep into your soul

through your crystal blue eyes I see a

vision of beauty and a woman who's wise

a beautiful rainbow you're one of a kind

we look at the spectrum - Patrick both

colorblind

aesthetically cute as possible oh how

hey oh let's not call her yeah I don't

want disappoint her in case it doesn't

work out

mommy I gotta poop till just wonder

anything something educational

Wow

and mr. Tyler has asked that the court

consider his request for the full

custody of his only child

Jenny Morrison Your Honor if I may I

would like to make the court be aware

that the Oh mr. Tyler may be perfectly

capable of supporting little Jenny now

he was not in the child's life for the

first six years objection sustained

his child needs her mother your honor

the mother that brought her up the

mother that took care of her and the

mother that understands what her little

girl needs mr. Tyler has absolutely no

experience as a father none Your Honor

if I may mr. Tyler I was not aware that

even had a daughter until he

accidentally came across her birth

certificate at the passport office this

she yes sir Melissa Morrison

deliberately withheld this important

fact of Jenny's existence from him and

was going to continue to do so objection

your honor

denied Thank You mr. Tyler

by the way my granddaughter loves mr.

doodoo joins the Saturday mr. Tyler

isn't it true that while Jenny Morrison

was under your supervision that she went

missing for several hours without you

knowing her whereabouts she told me she

had a piano lesson piano lesson yeah

I'm confused you simply believed her I

didn't know what to believe I'd only

known her for a couple of days

exactly see mr. Tyler you know nothing

about this little girl yep you were her

father objection sustained

that's right at the time I did I I

didn't know I was Jenny's father Melissa

just apparently forgot to mention it huh

slip you're buying is that it huh all

right let's behave like adults please

you have to remember we're here to

resolve the situation in the child's

best interest your honor

I'm not saying that Melissa's a bad

mother

but what I am saying is that it's

disruptive to take a child to another

country and not only is it disruptive it

makes my visitation rights virtually

impossible jenny was the best thing

it ever happened to me that little girl

was always so often missing she always

had a smile on her face and she was

truly happy when we were together I

loved that little girl as much as any

father has ever loved his little girl I

can afford to support her financially

now that's not a problem but money money

doesn't mean anything to a child I mean

most of the things that we did we didn't

spend money I just wanted the best for

her I mean I can afford to send her to

the best schools now I can afford the

best health care that's a bonus but my

love for this child has nothing

to do with money

I was all over the court I will see you

in

Thank You young lady

I'm sorry we cannot allow you to stay in

the corner you are shooting Thank You my

honor

this should counsel since the defense is

not objected to the reading of this

letter I will therefore present it for

the record as the child's statement it

would be nice you will pardon my smile

but the spelling is not bike no the

spelling is unique it would be nice if

you can read my letter out loud I love

my mummy terribly but she doesn't have

time to play with me like my daddy does

my mummy

is like my money my daddy Harrison is

like my best friend whatever decision

you make mr. judge I know it will be the

best decision I just don't want anybody

angry at each other do you like candy

tarts I hope you do because I have put

some in here here is my card

is in here too from Jenny Morris

mr. Tyler it is a pyramid you are more

than qualified to support Jennifer and

to provide her with the best education

that money can buy

however this marshland seems also to be

quite capable the supporting her

daughter the situation is very difficult

when a child has to be placed with one

parent or the other I will have to rule

that the little girl resides with her

mother as custodial parent in Canada as

non-custodial parent mr. Tyler has full

visitation rights granted by the court

this is the custodial parent and makalah

but a distance away in every location

mr. Tyler is entitled to extended

holiday visits if he so desires

apparently money doesn't buy happiness

I'm sorry mr. Tyler Court will now

recess for 15 minutes and resume with

the Maxwell versus Delmon case

almost 3,000 miles away this is the next

best thing it's like looking into a

window far far away you're right it's

like a magical window

so I have to call

I gotta go

I love you I love you too honey

that's good

then he turns the car around and drives

right through it turn it off honey it's

past your bedtime no our next guest is

having quite an impact around our house

with our little daughter Liberty and

maybe if you have some lunch turns

around your house the same things

happening it's happening all over the

country now you probably won't recognize

him but you will certainly recognize

this face please are you using that

videophone again I told you it's not a

toy

mr. Harrison Tyler tell me how does it

guy who starts out being a mystery

writer end up writing children's books

okay see if it weren't for my daughter

Jenny then there would not be a mr. dodo

today is that right yeah how old is

Jenny

Jenny's six years old now why would

there be a mystery dodo today well jenny

was a great inspiration to me she she

taught me to never give up she taught me

to believe in myself and my right and to

trust myself and she especially taught

me to get back into touch with that

inner child I thought I'd lost forever

oh my goodness how old is she she's six

and if she were watching right now what

would you say to her well she's probably

not up at this hour but um but if she is

I just I want her to know I love her and

I miss her very much

your father's right you shouldn't be up

at this hour

daddy great I told you to go to bed

finish my puzzle I am your mother and I

have just told you to go to bed now I am

sick of you talking back to me and I

now getting back to these these stories

what's the first one you ever wrote yep

Melissa can we come in pumpkin was this

bad I was wrong Harrison you're the best

father in the world

why now four weeks after the hearing I

couldn't sleep

my conscience kept telling me I'd made a

mistake maybe I can I want Jenny to live

with you she needs a stable upbringing

and my lifestyle isn't stable

and he's not really happy

I'd be a better mother if I just

mr. J

no more searching since I met you no

more looking for the right one all those

days are through

no more sitting alone in a crowd

hearing music that's always to love life

is more than a song to me

it's a symphony

since I found

I've come alive

before we met

I don't know how I survived

how it feels to fall head over heels

into law

all my searching is through

with you

since I found you

I've come along

before we met

I don't know how I survived

now I know how it feels to fall head

over heels into love

all my searching is through

with you
