Val: Holly, you're in charge of Luci. Alix and Andy, keep MAX out of trouble. Val: We'll take Joan and Wally to the airport and be back in an hour. Joan: You're BOTH going? And leaving the kids ALONE? Val: Time to go, sis. Joan: Wally, we're cancelling the trip.
Reminds me of my sis-in-law and my bro – who left their tiny tot with us and went for a Friday evening movie. She(SiL) was very nervous as it was the first time she was separated from her (beloved) offspring for more the 3hrs. As they left we were guessing how long before she was back – she would’nt go thro the entire film that was for sure. Sure enough – barely half way through the film, a very agitated mom was reunited with her well-fed and comfortable off-spring. My bro, though, chuckled all the way through his mis(sus)fortune.
