Aimée: Words fail me. To your time-out spot.

Jilli: You got it wrong, it was my brother in law that was apologizing because my sister couldn't complete a single sentence without at least one expletive. All this, while her chin was resting on her chest where her drink was also sitting because she was too drunk to straighten up. Yeah, my sister got my half of the boozing gene.

I LIKE Pete's sister.

I'm waiting for Jilli to sneak up on Pete while he's napping, clutching an indelible pen in her lace-mitted hand . . .

To your time-out spot.

Oh, that's right. I didn't remember because I think I was still too agog at the ... art? Decorative statues? The things. In the living room.

Of course, to be fair, Pete has to deal with *my* family a lot. And while I love my parents and think they're very cool, I will also admit they're barking mad.

I LIKE Pete's sister.

You *ARE* Pete's sister.

Oh, how awesome would that be?! Very, very awesome, let me tell you.

Oh sure, Connie, talk about my clever plan. Now he'll be expecting it.

Because I am such a fine & upstanding pillar of the community, it is only to be expected that you ruffians would try to mock and ridicule my refined, and loomy, self.

you ruffians

It's 'cause we think you're . . .

. . . adorable.

Loomy I'll give ya.

Refined?

I think not, my friend.
