Then, it would notify his boss, alert the home security company, stop newspaper delivery, book tickets, make restaurant reservations, arrange child care for me, and check on the weather in Paris. When Daddy got to Orly Airport, the agent would make sure a florist met him with a single yellow rose, your favorite.
