Alice:

Jeez.

At least his parents actually got the ticket this time?

Me:

I hope they did. You need some distance from him. A different state would help.

Me:

Alice:

I mean...it's your life?

Me:

I meant your and my wedding.

Alice:

Okay, I'm more on board for that.

I laugh.

Timmy calls out from the hallway. “I’m going to punch you if you keep laughing at me, you stupid cunt.”

Me:

Oh, he just threatened to punch me.

Alice:

Nope. Electric chair.
