Mom: They're putting a Lucky's Steakhouse in in Clio.
Jodi: Oh yeah? Where?
Mom: In front of the Wal-Mart.
Jodi: rolls eyes.
Mom: Well, this one's not bad. I was in there the other day and it's kind of nice.
Jodi: Mom, you know ... it's not because it's scummy. It's the slave labor that makes me not want to save fifteen cents on Tide.
Mom: I know. I know. Don't start.
Pause.
Mom: We do have to get the kids art supplies there. They have huge buckets of supplies. You know? The little foam shapes. Animals and everything. Mom stretches her fingers apart while saying this. You know? For emphasis.
Jodi: Well I didn't know that. Shapes make slave labor ok.
