One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for August 30, 2013

Girls don’t need to cut back if the boy is willing to pay for the date.

Ruthie you sound like congress cut back on spending or staff.

Shouldn’t it be the other way around – if the economy is low, you need more boyfriends to continue the previous living-style? (As an example, I read ABC murders by Agatha Christie lately – the B victim went out with other men because her own couldn’t pay for pictures/dance every night.)

You mean “Joe”?

Joe is Ruthie’s blond older brother – the dark-haired boy is James, a friend of theirs.

And yes, congratulations, Mr. Detorie. You’ve brought a lot of happiness to many people with OBH!
