The Meaning of Lila by John Forgetta and L.A. Rose for March 18, 2023

Oh, gee. That narrows it down.

I’m a new reader. Why is their daughter bald?

Not wearing a ring is not a sign of whether or not someone is married.

Annie is also not “their” daughter. She is Lila’s adopted daughter. The man is a gay friend who financially supports Annie, because he and his boyfriend wanted to adopt Annie, but Lila was better as a mother, but cannot afford all the expenses.

Might be wearing it on a string, or more grown up chain, around his neck. Ala a Going Steady Ring in high school?

Lila did not notice “no ring”?

Goodness, Alan, you are a married man!

Why is the dad mooning over the director also?
