“Hello, darling.”
“Oh, hello, Ward.”
“Say, I looked outside and say the Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator lugging a suitcase down the street. Do you know about that?”
“Of course I do, dear. He’s running away.”
“Running away?”
“Yes, Ward. Some older boys were telling him he was ultra-compact and ten times more sensitive.”
“Wha… well, where’s Wally?”
“He’s running away too. You can’t expect a boy to let his Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator go off without him, can you?”
“Now look, honey, I don’t want to have to put my foot down but…”
“Oh, Ward. You know how boys get. Anyway the Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator has over 1.2 million points of interest and Wally took some sandwiches. They’ll be fine.”
“You know, honey, you don’t seem worried about this at all?”
“Why should I be worried? They’ll be back before dinner time.”
“Well, if you’re sure… maybe I’ll just go out to the garage and do a little work on that picture frame I’ve been meaning to finish.”
“That sounds lovely, dear. I’ll just finish these dishes and then take my Valium and gin.”
“What?”
“Hmm?”
