Yvonne, embarassed by her short arms, always kept them politely behind her back for photos. She prayed that her daughter, Yvette, would be the 'girl' that Yvonne always wanted to have been....A tall beauty with arms like Audrey Hepburn and the femininity of Grace Kelly......Well, as 'luck would have it'.....'it' didn't turn out that way, did it? After Yvette had her sex-reassignment surgery, after her tour of America as a Girl Scout Representative, 'she' reappeared from an eye-opening semester at Smith College, having decided to become a policeman, Officer Yves....naturally equipped to fulfil his duty as 'the long arm of the Law'.....

Yvonne still grimaces with a forced smile, hands still clasped....ever tightly....behind her back.....when old friends ask, sarcastically, 'How's your lovely daughter?'....and weeps a bit into a little triangular-folded tissue.. when asked 'How's your handsome son?'
