What's the Matter With Tracy?
Lester struggled to hold his family together after his wife, Marilyn ran off with another man. Two of his three young children seemed to have adjusted, but Tracy, his nine year old daughter could not accept that her mother deserted her and would not be coming back. When Lester met and fell in love with Stephanie, Tracy knew she had to somehow break up the relationship. What if they decided to get married and Stephanie and her three kids moved in? No, that just couldn't happen or Tracy's mother would never come back home. But no matter what the child did to drive Stephanie away it didn't work. And before Tracy could figure out her next move, Stephanie and her dad married.
If beating up on Stephanie's four year old, chewing and spitting her food out at the dinner table, and smearing mud on Stephanie's clean clothes wouldn't get Stephanie to leave, then Tracy would just have to resort to more drastic action.
Stephanie's gonna wish she wouldn't have come to our house when I get through with her, Tracy thought early one Saturday morning as she stood peeking around the corner at her step mother enjoying a quiet time alone with a bowl of oatmeal.
The next time Stephanie sat down to enjoy her oatmeal she had no idea she'd be rushed to the Emergency Room to have her stomach pumped. Her oatmeal had been laced with rat poison.
When it appeared that Stephanie might die, Tracy, in tears confessed to her father that she had put the poison in her step mother's oatmeal. Tracy tried to make her dad understand how much she wanted her mother to come back home. She didn't want a step mother no matter how nice or pretty she was. Why did real mommas and daddies have to break up anyhow?

- Do you think physically punishing Tracy would have benefited her? If no, why not?
- If your answer is Yes, who do you think should have been the one to punish her? Her step mother, her father, or someone else? Why?
