It is, isn't it!

It seems so obvious now, but even 20 years ago it probably wasn't.

The times, they are a changing! Still, yet! Whatever. Anyway, it was more difficult when I first heard it.

I just read this and I guessed the boy's mom too. Though back then, it was not a common to have female surgeons.

Back then I wouldn't have known the answer. Now it is much easier to guess. Times change.

Boy, am I stupid or what!!

I thought the Father in the car that was killed was the boy's priest and the surgeon was the real father! And hear I am, a woman in what used to be a man's profession and got it wrong!
