"Are you guys okay about sharing a bedroom?" says Jennifer.
"Um, Jenn", says Sarah, patiently, "George and Jeffery are a married couple. Of course they are going to be okay about sharing a room."
"Oh, yes. Right" says Jennifer, blushing visibly as only the Nordics can go red in the face. "What was I thinking?"
"Or", says Aaron, "What? Were you thinking? Punctuation you know."
"Touché", says Jennifer.
"Don´t worry about it, Jenn", says Jeffery. "With all the ups and downs we are all going through right now, I am surprised that any of us are able to get anything right."
Carl, right now, is looking very pale and very worried.
"Carl", says Sarah, "Why don't you and Melissa also join us. There's room for everyone."
"But, the house", he says, clearly trying to control his panic. "Who is going to take care of our house? and what will we do once you guys are gone?"
"Your mom's coming next week", says Michael. "Shouldn't you make that her problem?"
"Oh, yes", says Carl, "My mother. My dear old mother..."
