Even with her impaired eyesight, Hanna can see that Little Gordon Dingdon has come to spend the day with her. And I use the word "little" in the ironic sense, like Robin Hood's sidekick, Little John. That kid is huge. He really has to be about 12. Old enough to spend his day at school, and then come home to play video games alone until Mom gets home to fix Kraft macaroni and cheese. I suspect the main reason Hanna doesn't want Gordon hanging around all day is because his face creeps her out. But look at the bright side, Hanna: If you maintain a good relationship with this child, in a couple of years he can drive you to the grocery store to buy some real food.

Note to Hanna: how about having a peep-hole installed so you can see who is there before you open the door? Oh wait, no. Better yet... let Mary have a talk with your inconsiderate daughter. THAT will straighten her out! (And give Mary her meddling fix for the day.)
Amy: "Ma- can you watch little Gordon while I go out? They're having a smoker at the Lady Elks'. I'll bring youse back a copy of the card. Remember, no liquids for Gordon after 6 o'clock. Gordon, be a good boy for Gran, and she'll let ya watch da Mickey Mouse Club. Ya can fall asleep on the couch if I come back late- just don't you-know-what."
SLAM!
Gordon: "Gran, can I have some gummy wormsRedBullpopcornchiliDoubleBubbleKool-aidOreosMilkDudsicecreamhotdogs, can I please, Gran, oh Pleasepleaseplease??!!"
Hanna: "Why you little...! Okay. Wait til I get the mop. And don't tell yer ma."
Trick-or-Treat comes early at Charterstone. Amy and Gordon are definitely a trick: two characters from some past decade (1950s?) emerging from the blackness. Aaaiiiee...!
Amy really is a tad...severe. I think she's dropping off her little endocrine case there so she can go catch a WNBA game with the girls.
If Moy were really taking the strip in a new and progressive direction, Mary would find a way to solve Hanna's problems by hooking Amy up with poor Aggie from Pax - a dream relationship of bad haircuts and poorly managed aggression.
Moscato - thanks for saying what I was thinking. In fact, perhaps Amy is Aggie's former best friend, the one who dropped her so abruptly.
I kind of feel for Amy, suck between a dumb, ugly kid & a half-blind lazy mother who she'll soon be taking care of full time. Mary is about due for some meddking in support of the sandwich generation.
Geez. Mary give it a rest. The key phrases are "She almost ran into me" and "almost hitting me." Here in Florida, if all of the people who "almost" run into others gave up driving, the roads would be empty. When Hannah drives her car through a storefront, Mary, then we can talk.
"What a surprise!..,or not!" So, it's not a surprise. Of course, she won't have any food or drink to offer since Mary prevented her from driving to the store. She'll have to borrow Oats and Cereal from Mary's well-stocked pantry.
Oh, no, not another child. (Albeit a large, hulking one.)
Moy writes children as though she never met an actual specimen. As to Amy, it's hard to read her expression. Is she discontented, disgruntled, or dyspeptic?
Belated anniversary wishes. We went to Maui for our 10th. Started talking to a woman who ran a shop there. She asked where we were from. We said NY. She said where in NY? We kept narrowing it down - turned out she lived not only in the same apartment building - but IN THE SAME APARTMENT! ( If this was a story line from Mary Worth, I'm not sure I would have believed it) But Two of our neighbors knew her) Welcome back.
Review past interactions for possible causes.
Harumph!
anon @11:02... Wow!
Welcome back Wanders...you and Mrs. Wanders look so happy and relaxed...I'm jealous! :-) No, glad to hear that your vacation didn't turn into a Mary Worth plot. BTW, did anyone else notice Toby levitating her cup to her mouth?
