Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 22, 1996
Transcript:
Val: Joan? Is that what I think it is?? Joan: A support check from my ex-husband! Val: It's not very much, is it? Joan: I'm sure it's all he can manage. Val: Sis...this check is from the Virgin Islands. Joan: Gosh! I'll bet it's hard to earn a living there. I hope he can afford this. Val: How did you get to be so naive?! Joan: Mom says if I'd tried harder he wouldn't have run off with that dancer in the first place.
Sad, where is Joan’s self-esteem?
