Well, I could delve into a bunch of theological questions and then discuss whether or not we should presume that Olive is truly the recipient of a divine message and the wisdom of blithely dismissing such an admonition... buuuut, I'm more interested in the fact that New York ER doc what's-his-name apparently reads The Star at the breakfast table while with his family. That is a jerk move. No wonder the kid imagines fairies and the like and his wife thinks living in a Southern California retirement community for three months is a decent way to vacation.
Excuse me, fine parents, but what about the elephant in the room??? Your daughter just told you an angel appeared to her! All you have to say is "Oh?" "Would you like to take swimming lessons?" Must be the child psychologist told them to use planned ignoring.
@Yahoonski I totally agree. At first I thought that perhaps little Olive was blind. She never seems to make eye contact with anyone or anything she is looking at.
Okay, I'm going to make a prediction right now. Mary is going to offer to teach Olive to swim, and when she turns her back to meddle in someone else's business, Olive will nearly drown. She will be saved by Tommy, who was passing by on his way to his hot date with Tina. Everyone will revise their opinions of him, except for Tina, who will dump him for showing up late and drenched in water.

Joe's having even more trouble than usual rendering eyes lately. Everybody looks stoned, demented, possessed, zombified.
