did way up and I feel so guilty about
this I I didn't realize that Jamie felt
neglected yeah now we we might never
have the chance to tell him how much we
love him yes and how special he is to us
you know I can't believe that he ran
away and on the very day we were having
his favorite breakfast chili dogs with
onions fries chips and root beer Jerome
if only he'd come back and I would never
nag him to clean up his room again I'd
finished working on that Clubhouse

hope that one day we don't get a
postcard that says having a wonderful
time

they suffer a little more I'll get a
motorbike out of it
well thank goodness he's all right I
told you there was nothing to worry
about
I know but 11 years ago when I said that
I thought I was pregnant with Jamie
you're the same guy who said it's
probably just a little gas yeah I said
that didn't I I'm glad I was wrong if it
wasn't for Jamie we wouldn't know what
to do for aggravation true oh honey I
figured it was better not to let him
know that we saw him up there
he pretended to run away because we hurt
his feelings and if we forced him to
come back now he just might hurt his
pride too mm-hmm I agree I'm sure he'll
come down on his own real soon what if
we're wrong and he doesn't then what do
we do

no parts were broken yeah she just had a
loose connection where her gizzards
ought to be
where my kazoo dotted be now everybody
sit down breakfast is ready
well Jamie I hope you learned something
from this you almost lost Vicky because
of your jealousy and jealousy can make
people do terrible things I know that
now dad and there is no reason to be
jealous just because your father and I
can't spend every minute with you it
doesn't mean that we don't love you yeah
are you gonna punish me for pretending
to run away well I think the scare over
Vicky just might be punishment enough
