Elly and John lie in bed talking. She asks if she's being unfair to Elizabeth.
Just because other kids have their ears pierced doesn't mean her child has to follow suit.
Does her child have to have something just because everyone else does?
Cabbage patch kids don't count.
Is it still a big deal for kids to get their ears pierced?

Elly blows air out of her mouth with a Whoooohhh sound.
She blows air again and makes a Whhhhhhhh sound.
She tells John she's totally out of breath. He asks what she's been doing.
She picks up a figurine and a candlestick and blows more dust off a table. Dusting!
What's your favourite household chore to cut corners on? Any tips?

Michael sees cookies cooling on a plate. Elly tells him to keep his hands off--they're for the bake sale.
He asks, "Can't I have just one?" Elly responds, "If there are a few left over."
He bumps the cookies with his elbow and a few fall to the floor and break.
Mike then asks, "What if a few get broken?"
What do you think...was this on purpose, or not?

Elly and Connie are out walking in the snow. Elly says it's all done. She's had a complete physical: blood test, stress test...
She's had her guts probed, her lungs checked, and a mammogram.
Connie asks, "And?" Elly says she's healthy. Connie says, "That's great."
Elly's happy she won't have to go through that again for another two years.
Nobody likes getting this medical stuff done!

Mike sees a Valentine's Day decoration and says he forgot it was Valentine's Day after breaking up with Rhetta. Weed says Mike has repressed it.
They're at the Bung and Wattle pub with pitchers of beer and they're going to unleash their pent-up anxieties and free Mike from the past.
Mike tells Weed he can't party because they have an early class and Weed would have to wake him up and carry him there.
Weed says that's what friends are for.
Weed is such a good friend, isn't he?

Michael sees Elizabeth going through the mail and asks if she received a Valentine. She says it's none of his business.
Michael asks if she has a mad, passionate romance happening. Is Lizardbreath in love??? He tries to convince her to tell him.
When she doesn't respond, he calls her "Sistwirp" and says, "Ok, be like that!!"
She takes the letter to her room and reads it. It's a "dear occupant" piece of junk mail.
Liz probably wouldn't tell her brother--even if it was a mad, passionate love letter!

Anthony tries to tell Elizabeth he never read a note that said she had a crush on him.
He claims Dawn is just a friend and Elizabeth wants to know why he's telling her that.
Anthony confesses Liz is the person he really has the crush on but she doesn't believe him.
He kisses her to prove it. Kissing is believing!
Remember when Anthony and Elizabeth first got together? Here's a little throwback to the start of their romance.

Michael tells Lawrence to attack him to see if Farley comes to his rescue.
Lawrence tackles Michael and Farley says, "Whurf?"
Farley starts to bark loudly.
Farley just stands there on top of Michael's chest looking confused. Michael yells, "Get off me, you dummy!!"
What a great guard dog...

Elly thinks the best way to find a house is through a real estate agent.
Connie doesn't know...she wants to take her time and doesn't want anyone telling her what to do.
Elly asks how much time she has, and Connie says she has a week.
Elly points at a chair in the realtor's office and barks at Connie to sit!!!
When was the last time you moved? Do you have any interesting stories about it?

Michael writes, "Let it snow" on the fog of the living room window.
How are you feeling about the snow (if you're living in the northern hemisphere)? Love it or hate it?

Elly asks whose filthy, wet, snowy boots were left on the hall floor?!!
Michael says they're his boots, and Elly says she knows they're his.
Michael wonders how come Elly had to ask whose boots they were, then?
Elly hauls Michael and his boots toward the back door to clean up, and thinks, "...and they wonder what starts the aging process!"
Michael is lucky he survived to adulthood!

Duncan and April stomp in a mud puddle together, while Elly runs up to try to stop them.
Today is national "Stomp in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends" day. If you're in a colder part of the world, may we suggest a snowball fight?

Connie asks Elly how the new puppy is settling into their family. She says he's fine.
Connie found homes for Sera's other three puppies, but she hated to see them go. Elly wishes she could have kept all of them.
Connie explains that their mothering instincts kick in when they see a tiny struggling youngster.
Elly agrees and thinks it's a pain.
Do you enjoy rescuing little, helpless creatures?

Elizabeth brushes Farley and pulls heaps of fur off of his coat.
She keeps brushing him: more fur flies.
More brushing and more fur!
Elizabeth finishes up and walks away,. leaving the comb, brush, and heaps of fur on the floor. She says to Elly, "if there's anything else I can do for you, mom...just ask!!!"
It's so nice when the kids want to pitch in! Can you remember a time when yours were more hindrance than help?

Michael goes up to Elizabeth with a green grape stuck up his nose and asks, "Hey, kid! Hab you got a haggerchief?" Elizabeth screams that he's being gross.
Elizabeth goes to tattle to Elly about Michael, and Elly says she doesn't want to hear about it.
Elly says Elizabeth is a big girl now and she can find something else to do if Michael is bothering her.
Elizabeth thinks tattling is not as much fun as it used to be.
Ah, brothers. What do your siblings do to annoy you, and vice versa?
