So then he responds:
Sarah? Sarah ... Oh my god, I must have left Sarah at the bus station.At first I thought "oh yeah, that's completely believable, August will me MINE!" but then I realized Joy lives right here in Atlanta...and she might come by my house and then she'd know. she'd know my neighbors pain...we never mow the lawn.

Karen's broken leg and use of narcotics is likely to give her a distinct advantage for the month of August...
Good point. Right. The gloves are off, time to break out the old crack pipe.
It has not escaped my notice that the crutches extend my reach by a good 42". The kids have not yet realized my slowed mobility as something they can use to advantage, though, so I haven't had a chance to spread my new wings. And you never know - the broken leg could work to the disadvantage of my WMPs...at least until the pain pills run out!
hmm....bell + kids + broken lower extremity on mama = WMPs for sure!
That's what I like to see, some competitive spirit. That's what made this country what it is today.
