If Ammie had not had to go to the hospital, the chair wouldn’t cause me so much pain.
“She’s okay,” the doctor said. “She has a brilliant mind. We are going to keep her for some testing and studies.”
It has been two months. They say they are going to keep her. They will be able to do much more for her than I. They will make her into a giant of a cosmo scientist They will provide everything.
I get to visit her every week as she is weaned from me.
A less brilliant child’s mom might need it.

ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
The mother’s pain for what she thinks is the good of the child is heartbreaking.There’s something terribly disturbing about the whole scenario and you set it up nicely.
I doubt she thinks it is good for the child. I wouldn’t. But if the “doctor” is given enough control by the “Village” what can she do about it. I believe parents are having less control of their children as the years roll on. Tragic, I think.
Thanks, Dora, for making the comment and letting me know I need to clarify that issue.
A chilling parable about obedience
Thanks, Neil. Someone is going to have to put a damper on “Village” control or our children are just pawns. More about that on my blog today, I think, if I get around to it. I don’t know why I did not comment on your FF, but I did like. It is also a very grim piece of wit. Well done.
Well written. Scary stuff, though. Not to have control of what happens to your own child. Kind of like what is happening in the Nursing homes now with no control over what happens to our parents and grandparents.
Good comparison. I have a 91 yr aunt whose family can’t go see her except to talk through a window like talking to someone in jail.
