Well, I can surely understand why the parents of that little girl would want her to have Tripod. I sure hope it isn't just a whim, though. You might tell them that, even though you're a backup should they decide against taking Tripod, that if they do indeed take him and decide that it isn't working out, that you'll take him then, too. Aw, this makes me so sad for all concerned but I guess I should be happy that Tripod is going to a home.
