“No, they wouldn’t, Mum,” James protested．“We’re not _41__ at all．We’re just ordinary people．”
Mum sighed heavily．“To tell you the truth, James, my neck has been so painful that it’s given me a heavy _42__．And your poor father –he doesn’t feel _43__．He really needs a rest．”
“I can help, Mum!” James said．“_44__ I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over? Please?”
“Well…”Mum began．
“Great!

“I guess so,” replied Mum．“Your friends will just have to _55__ that we are a very unusual family．Thanks, son!”
