sleep (surprise!!) and the rest of the house slumbers on. Ok, maybe they aren’t soooo unsavory but they do kinda smell bad. Their bather (the husband) is obviously falling down
on his job…. What kind of work ethic is that, I ask you!?!?!?! hahaha Just
joking babe, love you much!! *now go bathe those dogs*

EVERY LINE but most especially parts like THIS: “SYLVIA…. YES MICKEY…. How do you call your lover boy? Come ‘ere lover boy!!” *you crawled across the floor,
Jennifer Grey style, too didn’t ya? hmmmm……? NOT THAT I DID THAT EVAH!* Ok, I still know the entire movie by heart!
