Val: I'm taking my kids to the park. Want me to take your kids, too?
SNIFF
Wally: You'd DO that?!
SNIFF
Val: Sure! What's a couple more? We'll barely notice.
Joan: Wanna keep them for a WEEK?
Val: Barely notice for an HOUR, I meant to say.
Wow, eatteaphonenome, that’s overreacting a bit… They are so sick that they can barely take care of themselves, and Val is her sister, so it’s not like she’s a stranger. Plus Holly and Alix can take care of themselves and/or help with the younger ones. From your reaction, I’m guessing that you must wrap your kids in bubble wrap every day to protect them from the “life threatening dangers” that exist everywhere (or you don’t have kids).
