“I’m so sorry, James,” she said.

“I’m never allowed to have friends come to the house? Why, Mum?” James asked sadly, almost in .

“I know it’s for you,” Mum said softly. “But I’m just worried other people might think we’re a little… strange. And then they would make fun of you.”

“No, they wouldn’t, Mum,” James protested. “We’re not at all. We’re just ordinary people.”

Mum sighed heavily. “To tell you the truth, James, my neck has been so painful that it’s given me a heavy . And your poor father ---he doesn’t feel . He really needs a rest.”

“I can help, Mum!” James said. “ I can make you and Dad feel better, can Brett come over? Please?”

“Well…”Mum began.

“Great! Thanks, Mum!” James almost shouted. “Just sit there, don’t move.” He rushed over to the kitchen drawer and what he needed ---two spanners(扳手). “Hang on, Mum,” he said. “This won’t take a second.” After some , James was finished. With a smile of on his face he said, “There! How does that feel?” “Oh, James,” Mum said. “That’s a much better! How did you do it?”

“Easy,” James said .” Dad had tightened your neck bolts (螺栓) too much! I just them slightly! I learned that in robotic science at school.”

“What about you father? Can you him?” asked Mum.

“I’ll try,” James replied. He up Dad’s hair at the back of his neck and plugged the electric wire into Dad’s head. Then he turned the on. Dad opened his eyes and immediately. “He just let his run too low, that’s all,” James said, “Shall I tell Brett to come over straight after school tomorrow?”

“I guess so,” replied Mum. “Your friends will just have to that we are a very unusual family. Thanks, son!”
