"Remember your Junior Prom when --"

"Mother, that is not even in the same conversation as this!"

Madison was smiling now.

“What happened —~'

—- will never be spoken of again," Heda said, almost sulking.

“Suffice to say, it involved the team mascot and a lot of therapy for a couple members of the pep squad. And Principle Smithers."

"I know," Jessica said, “why don't my husband and I treat all of you to a trip to the water park? Or are you all too old for that sort of thing now?"

"Hell no!" Joanna said.

"I have got a KILLER new swimsuit that will just make the boys drool."

"Then I'm in," Anthony said.

"I like drooling."

"Of course you do," Mrs. Adler said.

"You're a boy."

"ALL man, baby!" he replied with a grin.

Jessica Adler refused to smile. She absolutely refused.

“Heda darling, I'm certain you have something I could wear."

Heda nodded. Her mother was still in phenomenal shape, so it would work. She felt someone tugging on her arm. Madison was looking nervous.

"Let me guess," she said with a smile.

"No swimsuit?"

"Can't swim."

"Really?"

Madison started counting off fingers.

"No one cared enough to teach me. Low self esteem. Blind."

"I offered," Billy grumbled.
