It's like everybody but Zak and Iris know that Nan is Toby's twin, not Iris's. I hope that the Cameron's aren't invited to the wedding. For lots of reasons, actually. But for one reason, the Camerons are much better at peek-a-boo, and it is never polite to upstage the couple at their wedding.

What an extremely odd way for three people to sit at a table.
Peek A BOO, I want you Zak!
After they get home and Iris says the wedding is off, a cluless Zak will wail, "BUT WHAT DID I DO?"

Perhaps what seems to be peek-a-boo is actually jazz hands.
If Iris isn’t immensely bothered by the behavior of the “amazing man she adores,” she’s hopeless. I expect Nan will next wipe food off Zak’s face with a napkin.
How about a little bright conversation, Iris?
You’ll say, “That was quite an adventure we had last week at Piccadee-“
Nan will say,
“Falls, schlemiel, schlimazel, hit me over the head with a rusty nozzle! Ha ha hee hee, snicker, giggle, oh, Zakky, didn’t we have fun there?”
Zak: “It was amazing, Nan! I slipped and fell, and then you kissed my booboo when I cried…”
Too bad Iris doesn’t have an engagement ring to fling in his face.
MW: If I remember this story correctly, wasn't Zak 6 years old when Nan started babysitting him? Children are long past playing peek-a-boo and can feed themselves without assistance just fine at that age. Nan is clearly guilty of abuse. And this is funny because...?
Judging by her stilted dialog, I don't think there's any doubt that KM has never had an actual conversation with another adult. This week proves she's never met a 6-year-old kid either.

Thank you so much for the compliment, Wanders. In fact Toby and I have taken the blue ribbon for 6 straight years at the annual Jazz Hands and Caber Toss biathlon down at the Scottish Rite Center.
I do agree that Nan is drawn exactly like Toby, and Iris’ protracted agony over being her “twin” is perplexing (seemingly their bizarre behavior wouldn’t at all concern her if Nan had a different hair color).
It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to hope Nan is in fact Toby, who’s leading a bizarre double life while simultaneously catfishing and gaslighting her much younger ex-babysitee and much older spouse. Anything would be more interesting and believable than another two weeks of moaning about Nan’s allegedly similar looks.
too bad moy doesnt have the imagination to show other tables watching this creep show .This has to be worst storyline ever starting out with the hamburger gravy it cant end good .
Next night Zak learns a painful lesson when Iris invites two tech-boy Zak-lookalikes out to dinner with them and encourages the two of them to feed her Khao Niao Mamuang in provocative ways.
Outstanding today, everyone! And thanks to JB for giving us some of the most snark-worthy material of the year to respond to. Considering Iris' reluctance to wed Zak from the start, followed by his ridiculously unsafe behavior at PD Falls, Iris needs to go with her gut and RUN very far away. But we all know there will be some impossible, awkward, unbelieveable denouement to this plot that will end in improbable wedding bells, probably on New Year's Eve. Blech...
Wanders, I nominate Paul Anka's 1957 hit 'Diana' to be added to the Charterstone jukebox. He's a hometown boy (Ottawa, ON) who was 16 when he wrote this song about his babysitter (according to legend), hopped a bus to NYC and became a star. Diana Ayoub, the inspiration for his song, died December 1, 2022 at 83. She said the song complicated her life.
I'm sure she didn't get together with Paul and his old lady for drinkie poos and yummy tummys. As Anonymous at 9.06 am already said, no self-respecting kid over 4 would tolerate that kind of nonsense.

Yikes. Why hasn't Iris left in disgust? Actually, why haven't the servers and other diners left in disgust? I'd probably be sick for the rest of the evening if I saw two adults role-playing that one of them was a toddler right in public.
Dear Grumpy, “Diana” was added to the jukebox when Zack first started hitting on Iris. But I didn’t know about the babysitter connection. That’s awful. Thanks for sharing.
That last post was from me. - Wanders
