for　parents　especially　when　they　don't　understand　it　themselves？〃

〃I　wrote　a　book　on　the　subject；　〃　he　said。

〃Where　is　it？〃

〃In　my　puter。　It's　been　there　for　years　in　random　pieces。　I　add　to　it　occasionally　but　I've　never　gotten　around　to　put　it　all　together。　I　began　writing　it　after　my　other　book　became　a　best　seller；　but　I　never　finished　the　new　one。　It's　in　pieces。〃
