At Home With Pliney and Violet

Pliney: (Watching Violet spoon boiling water out of an over-full pot of potatoes) Are we not set up for housekeeping?
Violet: We are... we just blunder sometimes.


Rotting carcass on rug - put in tub.

Freezer left open - check the meat. (ALL of it.)

Left breakfast on roof of car - go back for the pieces.

Tornado results in loss of power - buy ice.


Violet: What time are you guys thinking of coming back home?
Father: Oh in about twenty minutes.
Violet: (Silence. Hangs up phone)

The chocolates are almost gone and I ran the dishwasher for the first time in three days

We started talking about panties and ended up talking about orgasmic childbirth. Oh the things Pliney and I get up to when we haven't seen each other in several days. Also a dog that eats its own poo and LL Bean also made their way into the conversation...
