Opal, it takes less than five minutes to find the sewing box, thread, thread theneedle and sew on the button and put everything back. Just do it and get Earl off your back.
Make a deal with Earl, Opal: youāll sew the button when he fixes the kitchen sinkās garbage disposal (or any other task youāve been hounding him about).

Opal just likes to throw some shade at Earl.
She is very passive aggressive.

As a pragmatist, I agree with her. Grease it once. Maybe twice. Then get an upgraded component.

I wish they would quit needling each other.

All Earl needs to do is just wear the shirt. Seeing him wear it despite the missing button would drive Opal crazy.
