Nora, facing her little sister (fiercely): What's cooler than cool!?
Susannah makes a big show of wrapping her arms around herself and shivering.
Nora: No, Zu, you say "ice cold."
Susannah: Brr.
Nora: What's cooler than cool!?
Susannah pauses, certain she's got this one.
Susannah: Brr.
Nora: Ice cold! You say 'ice cold!'
Susannah shivers.
Nora: That's right.
I shouldn't be too surprised by how street these children are. After all, their mother has been known to bust out with "Hey-o-hey-o-hey-o-hey-ohh..." during breakfast prep, only to have their father belt out from the hallway "Hey-o that girl looks good..."
To which their various children reply with frighteningly advanced eye rolls that seem to beg the question: What the heck is a "diggity?"

But today is not for bustin' rhymes, it's for playing a new game which they've deemed Bangers and Shots. Is this game:
a) a rather violent English pub
b) a wildly inappropriate video game
or c) a medical clinic where I hope you never, ever find yourselves?
It's c), the walk-in health center that makes a spin in County seem like a day at Canyon Ranch.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm awaiting a vaccination into the chest to treat a manicure.

and that is why I always worry about which salon to get my manicure ..........
You guys are seriously funny.
(I love my oxymorons)
If only it was a combination of a and b, you could be having a fun night.
Hope everything goes well with your vaccination. And they give out really great lolipops at the end.
You really can't be too careful.
Oh, I love 'em like I love my jumbo shrimp. (To excess. And sometimes with regret.)
No kidding! And I'm still waiting on my lollipop. What a crock.
