Jerry Stengall’s story:

I graduated from college. That’s supposed to be a man’s milestone, I’m told. I graduated a semester early. I had a satisfactory job offer and they wanted me there as soon as possible. I left Auburn.

As I said, a milestone. I left my heart. Oh, sure, I know – college-aged male. Supposed to be all dick, all the time, any port in a storm, boinking whenever and whoever, without abandon.

I had that. High school. First year of college. Then somebody walked up to me and said, “Dude, this bunch is looking for a mech-E type to help on a research project.”

“Credits?”

“No, but you’d be stupid not to...”

“Why?”

“3Sigma. Engineering house, electrical stuff, mostly, but they have some students here. Serious brains. You like brains, don’t you?”

“How so?”

“Oh, it’s almost grapevine stuff, but there’s a Cindy Richards and a Nikki Granger in the electrical engineering program that went from high school to masters degree programs in less than two years. They have a lab at 3Sigma Engineering.”

“College girls with a lab? That’s scary,” I said.

“Gets scarier. Neither of them is eighteen yet.”

I got involved in their program. Except it wasn’t a formal program, but I found out that I could actually play with many of the ideas I’d studied.

And they had munchkins. Two when I got started, adding a third. That would be Terri Addison, Rachel Weisman and later, Vicki Duncan. Vicki was a year younger. I met them when Terri and Rachel were nine and heaven help me, they were designing a robot.

Three of them. A blonde, Terri, a very dark brunette, Rachel, and Vicki, hair the color of clover honey.

Terri and Rachel were, in the words of Terri, ‘almost ten’. Building a robot. I’m thinking a lot of things, but most of them involved girls in this age group being enamored of fancifully colored cartoon animals.

I made the understandable error of mentioning that opinion in the midst of a surreal discussion about energy economy in the robot’s mobility systems.

“Anthropomorphic toy animals,” Terri said. “You think I’m supposed to be playing with My Little Pony? Am I supposed to assume, based on your accent, that you tend towards John Deere caps and jacked up pickup trucks? Stereotypes are soooo limiting, Mister Stengall.”

Stereotypes are soooo limiting. Two years I worked with them. 3Sigma was a very successful business in its own right, but the munchkins became a force unto themselves. How do you tell your friends that your boss is a pre-teen with a contract with Google. Or the Department of Defense. And making MONEY at it, and sharing it rather liberally, I think.

Stereotypes are soooo limiting. Ten year olds aren’t supposed to be reading technical papers. Twelve-year olds aren’t supposed to have banked a couple of million bucks from the research I helped with. They’re supposed to speak in short sentences using words of two syllables or less and they’re not supposed to be handing out business cards with pictures of pterodactyls on them because somebody called her ‘pTerri-dactyl’.

Stereotypes are soooo limiting. Eleven year olds aren’t supposed to be mesmerizing with horrible puns and senses of humor that swing from ‘feather’ to ‘sledgehammer’ at a whim.

And you’re not supposed to fall in love with them.

One thing you NEVER do with Terri is underestimate her. I thought maybe I was seeing something between us. I wasn’t sure she was. One day we were working in the lab. I had some things going with an experimental exoskeleton. Terri was across the lab with Vivek Gupta. He’s her number one software guy. They were talking animatedly about something. She touched his shoulder. When she looked up, she saw me.

I guess I don’t hide expressions well, but I felt like the little boy whose girlfriend just took off with another boy. I tried going back to the project on the bench before me, hardly accomplishing anything.

I concentrated. Didn’t see her walk up beside me. she swung her hips, bumping into me just a little bit. To somebody who didn’t know what was afoot, it could’ve been accidental.

I’m not that person. Electricity coursed through me. “Hey, Jerry. Whatcha doin’?”

“Oh, hi. I thought you ‘n’ Vivek were working.”

“We were WORKING.” She emphasized ‘working’ just enough to let me know. “What are you and I working on?”

We launched into a discussion of the mechanical project.

“You and me – we work together well, don’t we?” I said. I was looking for a particular type of smile. It’s there.

We talked more about the odd-shaped objects in front of us. Then, “What’d you do to make your eyes so blue today?”

Her eyes laughed. “Oh, stoppittttt! This is a workplace!” she squeaked. So yes, I know she knows.

I went to talk with her dad, Alan. Alan’s a nice guy, but he’s a dad and therefore expected to be very protective of his pre-teen daughter.

Dana brought me into his office. “Jerry needs to talk with you, Alan. He thinks you’re scary, so don’t be mean.” She made a face, but was smiling as she left.

He looked at me. I was nervous. “Sit down,” he said. “What’s up?”

“I don’t exactly know where to start...”

“You’re not quitting, are you?”

In addition to school and working with the munchkins, I was making a little money doing some project assembly tasks with 3Sigma. Wasn’t much, but it’s an honest block on a resume.

“No. Well, maybe. There’s a situation...”

“What kind of situation? Something unsafe? Illegal? Whatever we need to do ... We like having you around. You work well with the girls ... You’re the adult in the room for some of this.” He looked genuinely concerned.

“I’m trying to be the adult in the room, but the girls, there’s a problem.”

“A problem? The girls?”

“pTerri, in specific,” I said. There. The first step, they say, is admitting you have a problem. Terri’s HIS daughter. This is the part where he pulls a pistol out of his drawer and shoots me right between the eyes. Or something.

“Uh, did she do something?”

“Not specifically, but I get the feeling...”

He stared at me. “Feeling?”

“I think pTerri likes me.”

I don’t know if he’s playing me. “They ALL like you. WE like you. You’re a good teacher, you have patience, you’re very technically adept.”

“I appreciate all that, Mister Alan...” It makes me feel good to hear him say that.

“Just Alan, please...”

“No, I’m gonna stick with Mister Alan for a while. I don’t mean ‘likes me’ in a general fashion. She looks at me sometimes when she doesn’t know I’m watching, and it’s different. Like she’s ... I dunno ... she’s appreciating me. Different. Not just Jerry the technical support.”

“You think she’s attracted...” he said.

“Yessir. And please, please, PLEASE understand that I NEVER ... I mean, we all laugh and talk and get really happy together when things work, but I never ... Not any of ‘em. I’m twenty. pTerri’s eleven.”

“I know. Jerry, pTerri’s sort of asked questions ... My daughter’s turning into a young girl – young lady. Noticing things.”

“Mister Alan, I never ... I wouldn’t...”

“I believe you.”

“That’s the tough part,” I said sincerely. “I really like the girls. I love what I’m doing. This is an opportunity I never dreamed of getting. But pTerri...”

“My daughter...”

“Yessir. Your daughter. I like pTerri a little bit more. She just stands out. I think I’m ... my best bet is to stop showing up here. Go find something else.”

He paused for a bit, silent. “Jerry, I really wish you wouldn’t go somewhere else.”

“You didn’t hear me, sir. I ... pTerri...”

“I doubt that she’s going to accost you in the broom closet, Jerry.”

The thought sort of startled me. “That’s sort of my nightmare. I would NEVER.”

“She won’t. I told her – make that WE told her, Tina and I – that the laws are very specific and harsh concerning such things and that she’d get YOU in horrible trouble...”

“Don’t I know it,” I told him. “I knew a guy when I was in high school. Thirteen year old girl. He was eighteen. Wasn’t pretty...”

“She knows that. YOU know that. And Jerry...”

“Yessir?”

“She’s eleven. Eleven year old girls are not known for long-term relationships.”

“Sir, respectfully, this is Terri. Eleven year old girls are not known to attend college.”

“We’ll talk with her. I will tell her that YOU talked with me.”

“Sir, I LIKE pTerri.” I couldn’t say the word I really was thinking.

“I understand that.” I sighed. “We’ll manage this.”

“Sir,” I said. “I’m an honorable man. I don’t want Terri hurt.”

“Your leaving unexpectedly over this would hurt her. You’re right. My daughter. Damn straight I’m protective, Jerry, but I’m like everybody else around here when it comes to Terri. We don’t know what she’s capable of, and we don’t know what she’s thinking, and we’re just very happy that she’s come to us talking about YOU already.”

“She talked to you?” I asked, incredulous.

“No, but she talked to Tina and several of the others. You’re not a particularly well-kept secret...”

“Oh, geez,” I said. “I never wanted this...”

“I’m perfectly sure that you didn’t wake up one day and think you’d pursue my daughter. Nobody says that about you. Nobody remembers you as being particularly, uh, active in the last year or so.”

“No sir,” I said, hanging my head, remembering what I had been. “I kind of looked at what I was and decided that wasn’t what I wanted to be.”

“Sobered up,” Alan stated.

“Yessir. That, too.”

“Look, I sort of understand some of this, Jerry. Here’s what I want. I want Terri NOT to be hurt. I don’t want you engaged in a felony. I don’t think Terri will push things hard, and I KNOW you won’t, will you?”

“No, sir.”

“Then don’t quit. Don’t quit anything. Keep being the guy that fits so well into our team and into the Munchkins’ team. And you’re aware of what’s going on, so watch yourself and watch my daughter. Heaven knows what she’ll come up with next, but I can pretty well guarantee it won’t jeopardize you and her.”

Two days later, we were in the lab. I’d just finished stripping off a pair of chemical gloves after working with Vicki and Rachel on a carbon fiber layup. They finished the removal process and bounced off. I was peeling off the Tyvek sleeves I’d worn. I turned around. Terri.

“Hey, punkin,” I said.

“Hey, Jerry. I heard you talked with Dad.”

“I did. I get kind of scared, Terri.”

“I know. I talked with Tina and Cindy and Nikki. Then Dad talked to me. I didn’t want to get you in trouble, though.”

I looked at the object of my affection. Yes, I guess talking with Alan kind of coalesced the idea. “I know there’s something, Terri...”

“You do? Really?”

“Of course I do. And if you didn’t think I knew, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, would we?”

“No,” she said solemnly. “And you’d look at me just like you do Rachel and Vicki. But I know there’s a difference.”

“Do you really?” I asked her.

She nodded, bobbing that blonde hair. “Nobody tells me I’m wrong. Do you want to tell me I’m wrong?”

“You’re the pTerridactyl and ‘wrong’ is not something you do very often.”

“Not about important stuff. And you’re important. I want you to know that, Jerry.”

So very solemn. Unusual. She glanced around. Nobody else in here. She bounced, hooked a hand behind my head, pulled me down and kissed me. Wasn’t a peck, either. Nope, no tongue, but yes, as real a kiss as I might expect from an eleven year old.

“Terri!” I gasped.

“I know. Shouldn’t. Did.” The eyes flashed blue fire. “Just so you know.” She turned away, then back to me. “Know something else?”

“What?”

“You’re the first boy I ever kissed.”

“That’s wonderful, Terri. Come sit down,” I said, patting the bench beside me.

She did, hands folded primly in her lap. “Are you mad?”

“No, baby,” I said. It was out before I realized that I’d said it. Her face beamed.

“You called me baby.”

“Yes, and that’s exactly what we need to watch. One of us isn’t going to be thinking and something gets out. Terri, it’s just plain dangerous.”

“Not for me to just kiss you.”

“Even that,” I said. “Because people will just naturally assume other things are going on, too.”

“I know.” Back to solemn Terri.

“No, please don’t be sad, Terri. That’s the last thing I want. You can be ‘it’ to me and I can be ‘it’ to you, and we can both know that, but we just can’t really do much more.”

“I’m it?”

“You’re it.”

She smiled. “Thank you. You might be treating me like some weird kid...”

“You’re the very weirdest of kids, Terri. That’s probably what did it. Twenty year old guys don’t usually go for eleven year old girls.”

She smiled. “Let’s go before they send out a search party.”

“We’re okay?”

“Very okay,” my little girlfriend said.

And I left that behind to go to Houston for work.

Oh, graduation. Terri was there. Of course Mom and Dad were there, but Terri was there.

After the ceremony, Terri made a beeline for me. Right there. She stood next to me. Introduced her to Mom and Dad as my boss.

What?!? I couldn’t very well tell them she was my girlfriend.

Nanny’s house was a small, two bedrooms, wooden framed one near a cotton mill. She and my great-grandfather had worked at the mill. Back in those days, the companies felt it was best to have workers that lived near the mills. They built what was called mill villages, dozens and hundreds of basic houses near their plants. Then they sold them to the workers, taking mortgage payments out of their paycheck each week. The South is dotted with the remnants of these kinder, gentler days. By the time...

Cindy’s turn: Mr. Wally is REALLY bossy, but there’s a goal in his bossiness, and it’s obvious: he REALLY wants us to be safe -- he says he doesn’t want to be collecting body parts. He’s right of course. By nature I’m NOT bossy, but sometimes you have to be, and after meeting my Dan, I developed enough confidence to do it when I have to. And I know a couple of others who did the same. And there’s trouble percolating in my mind, and here at the Pavilion, I see exactly who I need to help me...

Community Three SigmaChapter 14

Dana’s turn: I’m over at Tina’s house, sipping coffee with the mommy mob after our NASA foray. “We have a pretty good idea of how everybody else did,” Susan said. “How’d it go with Terri? I mean, she HIRED Jerry.” I looked at Tina’s face for a reading. After all, Terri’s HER daughter. No, check that. Terri’s EVERYBODY’S daughter. Nobody in the community treats Terri as anything less. Same goes with the other – it used to be ‘girls’, but since Derek showed up – ‘kids’. Well, age-wise,...

Community Three SigmaChapter 28

Dan 2.0’s turn: Little darlin’ doesn’t take ‘no’ very well. I told her ‘no’ when she wanted to be one of our two first pilots to train on the new airplane and to train on one of the bizjets we bought. We actually bought the company, but you can’t have something that flies and then tell Cindy and Nikki they CAN’T. Nikki’s pregnant for the second time. I am proud to be one of those men who sees his pregnant wife and is proud of her, happy that she chose him to reproduce with. I’m also nervous...

Sweet little Susan's turn: "You did WHAT?" Alan asked me. I took a breath. The guy actually sounded disturbed. "I gave some of Terri's writings to the English professor who's working with us." I looked at Tina. "Did I do something wrong?" "Alan, she didn't do anything wrong, you know." "I know. I'm just surprised." Alan smiled at me. "You know they'd have figured it out when she started school in the fall," Tina said. "Yeah, I suppose you're right." "Do you...

CommunityChapter 23

Susan's view: You know, just a few months ago I was just a high school senior. I had a mostly normal life. Okay, little bits of departure from many of the contemporary norms were there. Mom and Dad were married to each other. I was eighteen and a virgin. I was in the top level of my graduating class and I didn't take the easy courses. I had a best friend and she and I decided to attend the same college for the same course of study. Okay, so that's pretty normal-sounding, right? Then the...

CommunityChapter 29

Cindy's Turn: Summer used to be something that I survived. School was sort of a refuge because I was out of Mom's hair. Living in a thirty-odd foot travel trailer with Mom did not exactly lend itself to lazy days. I didn't have friends my age. Mom certainly wasn't exerting herself to see that I had any summer activities, so I was on my own in the RV park. The only kids my age came and went with their own families, and very few people choose to visit RV parks in Alabama except for the odd...

Cindy's turn: Riot weekend! We flew to Houston and collected an engineer and a flute-player. Okay, I said 'flautist' but Johanna said very few people still use that term. We flew? I flew. Dan handled communications with air traffic control once we entered the Houston traffic control area and fed me altitude and course data. I paid attention to ALL of that while we both watched for traffic. This is the most intense flying I've done, threading our way between TWO major airports, Hobby on...

Terri's turn: We have a new member of the community – Cindy's mom. I know I heard a little bit about how Cindy came to be with her Dan – he's 1.0 – the first of the two Dans in the community, and a lot of Cindy's story had to do with her mom not being a very good mom. My Tina tells me that I am fortunate to have two moms that love me and that my birth-mother, still in California, did a one of the hardest things ever – let her child go to another because she was just not able to do a...

Was supposed to be an informal get-together to see where things are in the circles of 3S Transport which is also the umbrella under which Don runs a charter jet service. “I know Cindy’ll be in the middle of this,” Don told me on the phone. “Do you have a problem if I bring a date?” “You know just how formal we are around here.

Johanna’s turn: I have become the musical mommy. I’m not complaining, mind you. Dad and Mom smile at me and tell me that their prayers are answered, that I’m married, my husband loves me, we’re successful, and ... my life is as filled with wonder as I told them. Little Randall is a good baby. That’s good. I’ve heard horror stories about crying all night and teething issues and ear problems and serious diseases. Randall is none of these. The community crèche is devoid of that. There’s a...

Community Service Pt 1

The first couple of weeks I was supposed to do menial jobs like sweeping and mopping, or organizing equipment. I was mopping up the girls locker room when my sisters burst through the door crying. I wasn’t sure if I should leave or try to comfort them. Brotherly compassion won out, and I asked what had happened. Alex sucked up a sob, and brokenly explained. “Our team is going to be cancelled, because we don’t have a coach. Daphne’s dad was supposed to do it, but he bailed on us.” Eva kept...

Community Involvement Ch 16

“Are you angry with me?” Michelle asked, an alcohol induced slur clearly evident in her voice. “No!” I retorted. My hand was firmly on her elbow as I guided her back to our suite. “Yeth, you are.” Her drunken laughter echoed off the walls of the short hall that lead to the inner door. “Your jealous and pissed off that I fucked Marcus! And what was with all that ‘Old Boy’ nonsense?” “I just thought it added a kind of James Bond slant. An unusual situation called for an unusual approach. You no...

Community Fundamentals Of Law

It was now Jeff's...or as he would be known to his students as, Mr. Winger's second day of teaching. Even though Greendale was a rundown, fairly crappy joke of a community college, Jeff had to admit it had done a lot for him. Not only was he able to complete his bachelor's degree and able to actually become a lawyer, he had also gained a core group of friends that made him a much better person. Greendale wasn't done with the tall, good-looking man just yet though. After a failed attempt at...

Community Service

I had got a DWI and had to do eighty hours of community service. The first 48 hours I worked picking up trash off the side of the road and other stuff like that. The last 32 hours I ended up working with this group cleaning up trails that go thru the woods. My first day I showed up and there was another guy who had to do community service and a old man, I would guess in his 70's. Three women that must have been around that age were also there. They were peppy and ready to work. The women went...

CommunityChapter 17

Tina's view: Sometimes I curl up on the sofa in those rare moments when I need some 'me' time and I think about things. Mommyhood. Little girls always think of being mommies. I did until I realized that my own 'mommy' saw me as a problem to be solved. Fortunately the solution was her own mother, Grandma, who did me right. When Grandma died and I ended up with Mom again, I pretty much decided that motherhood wasn't for me, not if I had a chance of ending up like Mom and me. Rethinking...

I have immediate family, my Tina and my Terri. I have my full family, and Tina made sure that she talked with my sister about the incident. And I have the Community. "You gonna be okay, buddy?" Dan 1.0 asked. "Yeah. Am I supposed to be all weepy or something?" He shook his head. "Not like you had any choices." "You...

"Seriously. One of our clients specifically asked if we'd subcontract you so you can come in and do some stuff for him." "What and when?" Steve gave me the run-down. I wasn't too surprised. Big facility. I'd done a similar scope for part of it prior to moving to Alabama. Now...

Jason's right there with me, though. He's tested out of some classes and he's gotten transferred credits for a lot of things he took for his technology degree and if he does a summer semester next summer, he just MIGHT squeeze his way onto stage with the rest of us. I hoping. He deserves it. We work...

Should be part of the Community," Nikki said. I'm glad Nikki said it first. I don't want everybody to think I'm running this show. I'm certainly not malicious or anything, but everybody contributes in this effort. "How do we make it happen?" I asked. "She's music, not engineering." "We had Mizz Patel handling...

Bill Carmody's turn: Interesting turn of events, I think. Two years ago I had Dan Richards on my power plant project. I knew him and Alan Addison from a previous power plant project where we were engineers, all three of us, on the same project. They're technically beyond reproach. Now I'm on THEIR payroll. 'Their' is, of course, 3Sigma Engineering. We're redoing several rural substations in Georgia. I ride herd on contractors, mainly, and make sure that they adhere to plans, and I...

Since you’re part of this now, you shall be Bill 3.0.” Which is fine, except to Herself, the Vickster, I’m ‘Billy’. “Cindy said you were ‘Billy’ when she first met you.” “I was. I like to think that I’m mature enough to be ‘Bill’ now.” Sparkly eyes. “Not ‘William’?” “Bill.” Snicker. “Billy.” That snicker is one reason I’m...

They'll actually GET that 95 gigahertz transmitter, and in the process of modulating its output so that it only severely annoys squirrels instead of cooking them on the spot out there in the yard, they'll transmit a signal into space where it will be picked up by an alien spacecraft. The aliens will come...

Can’t help but grin, just thinking about it. Both of ‘em have a little fire in their eyes, and when they’re together, you can nearly SEE the sparks flying between them. Couldn’t have asked for a more unlikely development, right up to matching green dresses they bought together for the wedding. And my phone buzzes --...

The social, however, now had a few outside participants. I mean, it was bound to happen. We don't exist in a vacuum. On any given...

I finally got to sleep, found out that Dana’s a kicker, so I kicked back. When the alarm went off, I let it roll for a bit, listening to the whines and other sounds of the gang waking up. I killed it, turned to get out of bed, but was a bit slow. I saw a T-shirted Rachel flash by muttering “bathroom...” Well, at least with two rooms we can split the...

I have a stepdaughter who's ten years younger than me, who is probably past me in some ways, academically speaking. I know she does things with technology that all of us in the community wonder about. What went on in her head that caused her to take a mobile squirrel repeller platform and convert it into a pet? Yeah, I know,...
