Whew. You weren't kidding about the "literally."
“I told you I ain’t got time for the bullshit between you two. Tomorrow mornin that car goes back ta Ellery an you can learn ta ride the fuckin bus. Not another word out a either a you, neither. If yer gonna act like a six year old you shouldn’t be drivin a car anyhow.”
I have to say, even though I wasn't the one saying the words, that felt good! :laugh: I doubt this is a permanent punishment, but it's drastic enough that it sends a strong message, even if it is temporary. It rings so true, despite the irony, that the girls still resort to melodrama as a way of manipulation that they learned by example from their mother, even as they get a first-hand look at how self-destructive that behavior is. :-\ Good news for everyone that Laura isn't actually pregnant, but still a very sad and pathetic state of affairs.
Thanks, Louise - Happy New Year and enjoy the paid holidays!

Life is returning to what passes for the new normal, in between doses of pain medication, hand cream and sorting of bills and piles of paper. I'm not leaving the house all day today, and I might just work on the other book too. Enjoy.
