Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 06, 1998
Transcript:
Val: Thanks for taking me to the mechanic's, Rena. Rena: Sure. But you look stressed. Can't you get more help from home? Val: My sister just makes enough to cover her own expenses, and my mom's living on social security. I hate to ask them for anything. Rena: But they could give you time. Val: They've got lives of their own. I assume they'd offer if they could help. Rena: At this point, I'd assume they won't offer until they're asked.
You’re giving them room and board, Val! You can ask for favors!
