We chatted on, for another half-hour or so, and then said goodnight."Love to Jill and Frank," I said.Laughter came down the telephone. Two voices laug...ing?"You've been talking to both of us," said Sue - or maybe Jill. "I'm in the lounge, Jill's in the bedroom, and we've been switching over after each sentence!" Damn!", I said. "Fooled again!" Well, we had to pay you back for last night, didn't we? Goodnight!"I smiled, and put the phone down. Suddenly my mood was much better.There was a knock on. “Sorry dude. Scooter doesn’t really like outsiders, you know?” “Oh, I get it. I was just trying to be polite, that’s all,” he said defensively.

I pretended I didn’t notice, and just walked in awkward silence.. Doctor Bauer mentioned this to me several weeks ago and I’ve thought it through. I simply don’t have the time.

No.”“OK. I’ll take your name off the list. Sorry to have bothered you.”“It’s no bother,” I said. “Honestly, I really am flattered. Ask again in a few years.”We said goodbye and hung up.“What. " Jimmy, that's a terrible thing for you to say. Your dad is a big flirt though. I can see that it drives your mother crazy too. If Tiny was like that, I'd bounce a frying pan off of his head. I've always liked both of your parents. I'm so glad that they're coming out here. Tiny wanted me to ask you if you thought that he and I should take the boat out this weekend, to make sure that everything is okay before your dad gets out here? He just wants to go fishing in it, but so do I, can we?" Sure..
