A:

Lovey, I promise to never again move all of your notebooks while dusting without first asking!

G:

I’ll believe that when I see it. Pussy, I promise to never stand over your shoulder when you’re cooking, whispering in your ear any secret ingredients to add to your recipes.

A:

Right! I promise to always use the fine, horse-hair brush to brush your corduroy skirt in the same direction, so that the nap is smooth and velvety to the touch.

G:

Thank God, nothing worse than uneven, nappy corduroy. And I promise to do the dishes and pots and pans on weekends when Helene is gallivanting about Paris.

A:

Right! And rough up your writing hand!?

B:

Promises, promises! We’ll see, I’ve been around the block with these girls for a long time.

HAPPY 2015!
