Oddly enough, i have a friend who’s name is also Zbigniew. He changed his to Alan. He was born in the UK but to Polish immigrants post-WWII. His last name is also a “spot the vowel” name but he’s a lovely bloke.

I completely agree – the kid who plays DAvid is a terrific actor. I felt real empathy for him.

RE: Younger women on the street who don’t whine regularly:

Eileen
Amber
And sometimes Haley (and when she whines, it’s usually for a good reason).

Vera in the chair reminded me of Meg Ryan in the restaurant – very, very funny.

The actor playing David is one GREAT actor. I had tears in my eyes when I saw him sitting there. Glacia, you are spot on – teenagers only think of themselves and never more than for the moment. Not that this excuses David, but he didn’t think of anything except that moment.

The look of total discomfort and embarrassment on the faces of the entire Duckworth clan as Vera enjoyed her chair was priceless!

Three hours David sat there and never said anything? I would have killed him myself. However, I did feel sorry for him sitting on the floor. For the first time in many years, he obviously felt some emotion and empathy. Of the entire family, only Bethany would have been someone he had a soft spot for.

geenee:

Beth’s school had a gas leak of some sort and all of the kids were sent home. Audrey told David she’d pay him his regular wages to babysit until Sara finished with her scheduled appointment with the wedding photographer. I don’t think A. thought D. was prime care-taking material but probably couldn’t stand hearing Sara whining a moment longer.

Are there ANY young women on CS who do not whine on a regular basis? By young I mean younger than Rita. That certainly opens up the field, innit? (as Amber would say)

If Vera uses that chair, Jack will be able to relax! I can see now how the chair was a present for both of them.

I don’t know how Sarah could have foreseen David’s stupidity but then again, he hasn’t been the most reliable of brothers lately – just reliably mean, so maybe he wasn’t the best babysitter to get. Why wasn’t Beth at daycare or school as she usually is?

Oh, now I get it – opposite day.
Beth should have been having a fit and Vera should have been relaxed.

convulsion n. An intense, paroxysmal, involuntary muscular contraction. An uncontrolled fit, as of laughter; a paroxysm.

-Perhaps someone should have told the kid (notice I did not say ‘actor”) that plays Bethany exactly what a convulsion is. Very hard to tell the difference from a coma and her regular expressions, maybe she’ll end up with brain damage and then her acting would be right on the money.
David should have told them sooner about the drugs.
Vera, on the other hand, obviously had some intense muscle contractions.
