Did Some1 Give Paul the "Patterson Wordplay" Booklet?
Liz told me the next bit abt her ride w/Paul. Well, actually their lil break fr. the ride, where they pulled ovr. Fortunately, no1 pulled up in a squad car & forced 'em 2 spend a nite @ a police station, LOL. So, after they made out by the side of the road (fill in yr own joke), Paul was all, "I'm falling in luv w/U, Elizabeth." Hm, Elizabeth. How formal. NEway, Liz replied w/"And I've never known NE1 like U B4!" Which, I dunno, seemz kinda like not really matching what he'd just finished telling her, but what do I know? Then, she sed, "Paul, I have 2 tell U sumthing. When we get 2 White River, I won't B taking the bus 2 Toronto. I can't meet your family. Some1 is picking me up." Paul was, like, "U've got a ride?" & Lizzie went, "Yes...in a helicopter. His name is Warren. We met @ school. He's been flying 4 a company out west." Then Paul showed how well he cd fit in w/the Pattersons: "I C. So, when U say U're being 'picked up'....U mean--literally!!!" Liz told me she raised her eyebrowz & rolled her eyez when he sed that. "I hope he doesn't turn in2 Dad on me, Apes!"
So, like, the Mary Worth party last nite. It was going so well! It started w/Mrs. Worth's big speech about the Christmas spirit and how people should resist the "throwaway" culture if they have trub w/their marriagez & other relationships, lalalalala, & when she was dun, our 1st set started. Becks played the piano & sang while I accompanied on harp, & we did the usual holly standbys: "White Xmas", "I'll Be Home 4 Xmas", "Deck the Hallz", U get the idea. Mrs. Worth seemed 2 B having a faboo time mingling w/all her guests & sharing her fave sayingz w/them. Josh an' Jane Hand were bein' all lovey dovey & talking abt getting undivorced, & Mrs. Worth was practically having an "O" over the idea.
Well, after the music was all dun, it was clear that many of the guests had 2 much 2 drink, & I don't know who started all the "I'll bet Mary can't balance herself on top of that harp" stuff. And I think Jeremy was trying 2 B nice when he shouted, "Of course Mrs. Worth can balance on top of that harp. Mrs. Worth can do NEthing she wants!" & I think Dunc was trying 2 B nice when he got the crowd chanting "Mar-ee! Mar-ee! Mar-ee!" Next thing, Mrs. Worth was, like pushing me & Becks aside so she could stand up on the piano bench, climb up on2 the piano, and then step over 2 the harp. Becks & I were both tryin' 2 talk her out of this, like, "U don't have 2 do this" & "We'll make an xcuse 4 U so yr friendz won't think U're chicken. Like, the harp's 2 fragile."
But no, Mrs. Worth just had 2 go ahead & B a daredevil. & 4 like 1 second, she was doin' it, balancing on her tiptoez atop that harp. & the crowd was cheering & she so got off on it that she was like, "Watch me leap!" So she lept, and fell, & she landed v. v. badly. Like Becks sed, Mrs. Worth broke both her legs. No visitorz, like Becks sed, but U can totally send flowers:
Mary Worth
Room 410N
Milboro Memorial Hospital
Send yr gd wishes, peeps!
Becks is tryin' 2 get all her teachers 2 say she really was here yesterday. I think they'll B hard 2 convince. Dunc's kinda slinkin' along, but glad not 2 B home. Ger's here. He sed, "I can't believe Dad wdn't rite me a note!" I just saw Jeremy carrying a huge box of coffee candy. & Alex was having sum kinda debate w/Eva abt hair accessoriez.

Thank you so much for posting the hospital address, Miss April. While I'm regrettably indisposed, the hospital has what is known is "wi-fi," and thus I can send missives from my hospital bed.
Going forward, I will definitely think twice about performing any "daredevil" antics, as you so aptly described them. I will also reconsider drinking Tom Collinses and highballs on an empty stomach--the lessons of Rita should be an example to us all.
Despite last evening's unpleasantness, you and Miss Rebecca delivered a stellar performance. In fact, I insist on compensating you for double your asking rate in light of everything that transpired.
Sincerely,
Mary Worth

While I cannot vouch for the veracity of all of Miss Rebecca's details, I can elaborate on two of her observations.
As for "the pretty colors," my event planner Christophe did a masterful job decorating the home in Christmas colors. No sane person could not appreciate his dazzling work. The animatronic Santa greeting guests at the door was quirky, but everyone seemed to find it festive.
I regret calling Miss Rebecca's aide-de-camp Jeremy by my grandson's name, but they're about the same age, no? 40-something?
At no point last evening did I feel like I was under the influence of any drugs. The medical staff at Milborough Memorial has generously afforded me copious amounts of Vicodin. It's definitely helping with the agony of having both my legs in traction.
Sincerely,
Mary Worth

Thank you so very much, Miss April. A poinsetta with a Denison University bear, how divine!
As for the doubled fee, it's the least I can do. You and Miss Rebecca can have more Christmas shopping money, or perhaps money for investing. Savings bonds are a fine and sensible way to build a nest egg.
Toby was kind enough this morning to deliver my mail along with my laptop. I think I'll read the January issue of Senior Living. Nothing can replace reading words on paper; your mother and I are birds of a feather that way!
Sincerely,
Mary Worth

peeps, i m sorry i've gone so long w/out posting 2day. after school, my mom was w8ing out front 2 take dunc & me 2 the mall. i thot, "cube, we're gonna shop", but guess what? the 1st place she took us in the mall was the musik shop, & she tried 2 return that electric guitar she bot when she was, like, "good elly". but when she tried this, the salesguy was all, "u're not the lady who bot this guitar!" & my mom was like, "of course, i am. elly patterson!" & they went back & forth 4 a while an' ended up callin' in the mall cops. we had 2 go in2 the back room where the store manager had, like, the security tape showing "good elly" buying the guitar. & the mall cops were all, "lady, that is not u!" & mom tried 2 xplain, but the more she tried, the more crayzee she sounded. & i sed, "that laydee in the tape gave me that guitar. the w8er at the diner across fr. us wd know." so they had me get the w8er, & he backed me up. so the store manager was all, "here u go, yung laydee. do u wish 2 press charges against this woman here?" i glanced @ dunc, & he shook his hed, giving me this look that totally sed, "d00d, no, u so do not want 2 go there!" so i told the manager guy "no".
so mom drove us back home, & she yelled @ me the whole way, but i don't know what she sed, cuz i blocked it out, going in my mind 2 a happy place where i got 2 have "good elly" as my mom. dunc told me it's a good thing i cd go 2 my happy place, cuz the thingz mom sed were not pretty.
when we got home, mom handed that electric guitar 2 dunc & sed, "merry christmas, duncan." dunc was all, "this is very nice of u, mrs. p, but i play the bass". she was like, "that's ok, play it, don't play it, sell it, poop in it. just so long as april martian patterson, she who embarrasses her parents @ partiez, does not have it." so dunc was all, "well, ok, then". after mom had clomped off outta earshot, dunc told me, "don't worry, i'll just hang on2 it 4 u. u can use it when we jam @ my place. assuming my 'rents take me back, which we can't necessarily assume. but neway, i'll hold it 4 u, & when u move outta here after grad, u can take it w/u." i sed thanx. dunc is cube!
after dinner, i had 2 sew xmas costumez 4 dad's train lil peeps while dunc watched a dvd w/my 'rents.
