But he is welcome in our home anytime, and you should extend the same courtesy to Rory. Now let’s talk about your money.

And what made Mitchum decide to choose you to marry amongst the pack of women he was bedding at the time, I’ll never know. But, hats off to you for bagging him. He’s still a playboy, you know? Well, of course you know. That would explain why your weight goes up and down 30 pounds every other month. But that’s your cross to bear. But these are ugly realities. No one needs to talk about them. Those kids are staying together for as long as they like. You won’t stop them. Now, enjoy the event.
