Elly: April, I can't believe you were fighting at school. April: It was Jeremy! He started it. Honest!! I was running outside on the playground, an' he tripped me an' pushed my face in the dirt for no reason! Elly: No reason? April: Well...he called me "Ape the Grape"...So I called him "Germy, Wormy Jeremy Jones." Jim: Sounds to me like a rhyme of passion! Elly: Dad, this is serious.
