W henever Nell's clothes got too small for her, Harv would pitch them into 
the deke bin and then have the M.C. make new ones. Sometimes, if Tequila was 
going to take Nell someplace where they would see other moms with other 
daughters, she'd use the M.C. to make Nell a special dress with lace and 
ribbons, so that the other moms would see how special Nell was and how much 
Tequila loved her. The kids would sit in front of the mediatron and watch a 
passive, and the moms would sit nearby and talk sometimes or watch the 
mediatron sometimes. Nell listened to them, especially when Tequila was 
talking, but she didn't really understand all the words.
