Keep in mind that this was usually said <i>while we were standing in their living room</i>. Even my father will do this to us and my parents are only twenty minutes away from us.

After all, there's a friend in PA who would love to see you and you should save the money for that trip. ;)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501617514638623172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545490918488056044.post-46180819009664297642009-12-20T23:36:22.636-06:002009-12-20T23:36:22.636-06:00Sounds like a good weapon to me.
