Listen, honey, I don’t want to be a bother, I’m just trying to get a little idea of what Olivia and Ella might want for a surprise when they come stay the weekend. Well, of course I know Jake will be here too, Michelle! But I asked your brother Alex what Jake would like, and he told me to buy this weird squishy stuff. Yes, that’s it, honey, it’s the Nickelodeon Floam. I found the greatest deal on a four pack so I’ve got more than enough.
Oh, come now, Michelle. You think the girls would want to play with the Nickelodeon Floam Multipack too? Olivia’s so proper and serious all the time… well, I mean, honey, I’m not doubting you. If you’ve seen her happily making shapes out of Floam… oh, no, I got four tubs, I’m sure I’ve got more than enough here. And listen to these names: Glimmer Green, Rockin’ Red, Blazin’ Blue and Electric Yellow. It’s like those old superhero cartoons you and your brother Todd used to watch. What was that one with the little kid who turned into a car? And the werewolf, I think it was on ABC. You remember, with the diaper? No, you used to watch it with him, you were so cute the way you’d just follow him around. Maybe you were too young to remember, but he would. When’s the last time you called your brother, anyway? You used to be so close.
Oh, really? Well, I’m glad you let him… oh, my LORD, Michelle! He sure didn’t tell me he did any of that, honey, I would have beaten his tail feathers with the kitchen spoon, I don’t care if he’s a grown man or not. Well, you go spend a little quality time with Ella then, and tell her Gramma Sharon can’t wait to see her over the weekend. And tell Olivia and Jack there’s going to be a ton of Nickelodeon Floam here waiting for them. Okay, honey, see you then. Love you. Oh, and tell Tim I love him too. Okay, then. Bye bye.
