It's never wise to analyze your own writing for the audience, but what the hell? Rachel and Sam's donations are different. Sam made a quick donation and it never crossed his mind, so when his daughter came to find him, he was open to it since he didn't put much thought into it. Rachel, on the other hand, was a bit more emotionally attached and the process was a bit more difficult, so she had to get into mindset of the donation not being hers. So when she comes across hers, she has to return to the cold mindset that she got herself into upon donation. 
Oh, and Rachel left something out of the APR. It's something I came across when I was looking up forked tongues for extra information. Scientists (from what I've read) seem to think the seperation in the tongue is for pinpointing the smell (you have one half pointing one way and another half pointing the other) since snakes and a few other reptiles have scent glands in their mouths. Dragons, on the other hand, primarily smell through their nostrils, so would not need forked tongues.
One last thing…Pegwarmers hit 500 comics today, you can read it here.
