Who is Mandy?

The tea having steeped, Mandy finally entered the living room carrying a tray with teapot and cups. Just who is Mandy? She’s is a 44-year-old woman who used to be a pediatric nurse. Having given up that career for reasons she was not yet willing to discuss, a career there is every indication she cherished because she loves children so much, she currently sells hand-sewn clothing over the web. Her current specialty is hip-hop/ghetto inspired boys’ clothing, including jeans that bag so far down the rear end that they expose red- heart-decorated boxer shorts, which she also sells, perhaps inspired by her adopted son’s own clothing preferences. Mandy never married, though says she was engaged once to a stockbroker “who broke my heart”, and has no children of her own.
