When Fio was young, she wanted to live her adult life in luxury, but circumstances thankfully intervened, and she's a better person for it.

When Fio clutches at her bosom to locate her credit card in her bra and the young male clerk looks politely in the other direction....

When Fiorella wakes up each morning, her refreshed brain floods with inspiration, and she immediately reaches for her yellow list and stick pen (su lista amarilla y su boligrafo) which she keeps by the side of the bed (la cama). But as the light is low in at that time of day, she has to spend the rest of themorning trying to decipher her chicken scratches.

When Fio was born, she checked "heterosexual" on her sexual choice card and started looking for her mate. The paperboy, the principal's son, the older brother of a boy in her first-grade class--they all attracted her. She can even still remember the names of her crushes from kindergarten on.

When you think about it, it's interesting how different we humans are from each other, not only in how we look or speak, but also how we choose to live our lives--our occupations. We're so much more diverse than, say, butterflies. Mabe that's why we've become the dominant species.
