Agnes by Tony Cochran for October 09, 2023

if that was 18, no one would have doubted anything, i presume

Maybe she wants to get a companion for that creature on the dresser.

Agnes thinks that the answer should be clear to all.

Trout is known for her eye rolling.

That performance is worth at least the eighty-six cents. Here ya go.

“Can’t a girl just need seventeen dollars and eighty-six cents sometimes without this insidious grilling?” is a browbeating question.

That’s a lot of money. Well, it’s obvious that Grandma said, “No”.

On Amazon you can get a Chemical Guys Happy Ending Ultra Plush Edgeless Microfiber Towel (Red) for $17.86, but shipping’s extra unless you have Prime, and I doubt Grandma orders enough online* to make that cost-effective.

*They don’t have a computer, so Grandma’s online shopping budget is probably $0.

Just once, Agnes would like to shop at the Seventeen-Dollars-and-Eighty-Six-Cents Store instead of the Dollar Store. Is that so much to ask?

Hmmm.. what could Agnes want that costs $17.86? Obviously an embarrassing item.

That means she has $2.14 toward that 20 dollar item

Never ask why. She could tell you but then she’d have to kill you.

Just say NO!!!!!!!

i’ve found that whimpering sometimes works with my wife. maybe agnes should try that…

Next time, Trout, try any of these conversation-enders:

“No.”

“Okay.” (DO NOT FOLLOW UP BY HANDING OVER MONEY)

“That’s nice.”

“Good luck with that.”

“Hope you find it.”
