    Why doesn’t Elly want Mike to go out tonight? It can’t be that late if he can still go out and pick up a prescription and visit Rhetta without her parents getting upset at the lateness of the hour.

    1. The strange circular snow is scary.

    2. The fear that the wisdom tooth pain will be too much for Michael and he will pass out while driving on the road.

    3. Elly can smell Weed’s weed on Mike.

    4. Elly knows Mike is really going to see Rhetta.

    5. Elly fears that Mike will find out that Rhetta is Jewish and does not celebrate Christmas and it will shake him to the core that anyone could have beliefs different from his own.

    6. Elly is obsessed with the idea that when her kids come home, they should be spending all their time with her.

    7. Elly knows what she put in that soup, and it was dangerous for driving.

    At least there wasn’t a guy there with Rhetta. I think.

    Is that the reaction you expected, Mike?

    Maybe because he had dental surgery and might still be a bit sore and woozy from the anesthetic?

    Rhetta, if he swallowed a grapefruit, you couldn’t see it in his cheek, could you??

    Mike’s prescription must be from Walmart’s; they NEVER deliver!

    There something wrong with Rhetta and his relationship. When, my wife’s plane landed and she got off it, she ran to my arms. It would have been great, if she had manage to make it to me. The kids got to her, before we got to each other. Just wait and see what Santa gives them for Christmas. Just wait!

    No, that would make his tummy poke out. The comment is “Why do you trying to look like a Chipmunk?”

    I guess it’s better than saying than Rhetta asking if he was carrying a grapefruit in his pocket!

    Apparently not many people know what’s coming. As Dean Martin would say—“Ain’t That A Kick In The Head”.Followed by Elvis’ “Blue Christmas”

    If this was animated with sound, Rhetta would be surprised hearing Michael talk. That swelled cheek would make him sound like Jabba the Hutt!

    She probably doesn’t want him to go out because he isn’t feeling the best from his infected tooth.

    If she hadn’t made him shave, his face wouldn’t look so bad.
