Sweet Daddy\\u2019s Mercedes  She was eighteen and beautiful. 

Young men chased her. Old men drooled.  Middle-aged men bought her presents. She graduated from high school with  a solid C minus average. She read on a sixth-grade level. She had a  limited vocabulary and no employable skills. She could type ten words a  minute using one finger on each hand. A computer-controlled telephone  system threw her into a panic and a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP)  system made no sense. Dictating machines confused her. Photocopy  machines hated her. E-mail was an enigma.  She had one skill. She pleased middle-aged men. They felt young in her  presence. She knew, instinctively, what to say to make them happy. They  in turn wanted only to make her happy.  Her one skill got her the job as Big Daddy\\u2019s administrative assistant. 

She would get Big Daddy coffee in the morning. She would go to the  corner and buy the morning papers. She rubbed his neck when he was tired  and sharpened his pencils. She carried his dictation tapes to his  secretary.  Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon she and Big Daddy would visit a  local hotel and she would give him pleasure. Big Daddy paid her twice  the salary he paid his professional secretary. He also gave her a  Mercedes Benz 500SL automobile. Big Daddy was so impressed with her  services that he put title to the Mercedes in her name. At age eighteen  she owned a $150,000 automobile and earned $110,000 a year. She lived  comfortably in a two-bedroom apartment in Cambridge. She was happy. When  she was happy, Big Daddy was happy.  Big Daddy had a wife and four children he had no intention of leaving.  So, every night Big Daddy went to his house and she went to hers. She  became lonely.

Cambridge is a college town. She would go out to eat in the local  restaurants and sit around the bar watching television and getting to  know the local college boys. She did not understand their discussions of  literature or philosophy but she knew how to make them happy. When Big  Daddy would go away for two weeks on a business trip, she became very  lonely. On those lonely weekends she would sometimes take a college boy  home with her.
