Val: So far this summer, we have one mysteriously broken window, three new stains on the couch, and... Water damage to my kitchen after the fire department responded to our three-alarm marshmallow fire. Why does the word camp keep popping into my head? Alix: Mom? Have you ever thought of putting a pond in the front yard? Person: Somebody turn off the water!
