7: Huh? Also, when?
2: HAHAHAHA
4: Dad, there's a question pending.
Me: So help me God if you become a lawyer I'll kill you.
Me: No, you have no more idea what they're talking about than I do. You're just--

5: Maybe Mom knows. She's smarted than you.
Me: Hold on wait yes she is. Go do this to her.

Me: I already have food strategically stashed at the office off of which your mother, your baby sister, and I can eat. You guys are reliant on my going to a supermarket to which I won't go as long as this persists.
7: When?
