olly--c'mere a minute, Buster: I have something for you!

You're right, though; I did the same thing I got marked down for all through school: rushing through and thus making errors.

How should it have been to make clear I surely did not ( yet) read the other two? (for I don't see what you did there, tears blinding my eyes @-@)


I understood you perfectly Bran; I think Ma just rushed through a bit too quickly.

I'm with doc c here. I had no problem understanding and wonder why Jackie made the unwarranted leap that she did.

And, Jackie? I don't need none, so don't bother offering.

I think so too now, but I thought I made a real grammar mistake.
(I'm still not sure about how I could avoid the double interpretableness.)

All right, dag nab it! I was NOT making a joke; there was NO grammar mistake. *I* made a mistake! (Yes, I know that this is the first time...) And old Doc Comfort can count himself lucky I didn't call him Pops.
