Bernie's Relative

Not great. Mom went into anaphylactic shock and is on an epinephrine drip.

Yes, don't be so dramatic. Anyway, I'm calling because I'm feeling much better. Even pregnant, my immune system is robust.

I have service here? We're being released in a couple of hours. Final warning to clean. I'm really hoping for once you finish something you started.

I'm going to convince the doctor to release me so I can head back early and clean up the party. I assume you haven't, and Mom doesn't need any more stress. No!

Nephew.

Hopefully by morning. I hate that Samuel has to spend the night here.

Okay, but to be frank, everyone is at their wits' ends with you. Mom and Dad are getting older. They can't handle the drama. If they come home to a mess, I don't know how much longer you'll be welcome. Oh, that's the nurse. I gotta go. Bye.

Oh, your grandpa?

Vodka? Gin? Yes. That'll be $40. Water will be fine. Still $40. Please go.
