Kim was startled from his revelry by Mandy’s condescending pat on his padded behind. “See, you do make an awfully cute baby,” she assured him. For once, Kim was not about to argue with Mandy, even if he were able to speak, because he agreed with her assessment completely. He was adorable. “You love it, don’t you Baby?” Mandy whispered knowingly. The slight affirmative nod of Kim’s head was clearly noticed by Mandy. The girls had set out to embarrass and belittle Kim, to make him seem small and inferior. But Kim was secretly ecstatic at their success; he was being humiliated into ecstasy.
