Margo wanted to have Puffin over for dinner so she asked Michelle and Stuart to choose a night that was good for them.Michelle said, “Oh, Mother . . . do we have to have her over for dinner? She’s such a pissy kid.”“Maybe she’s changed over the summer,” Margo said. “You never know.”“She’s lost about twenty pounds,” Stuart said. “I saw her at school yesterday. She’s very together looking.”“Well,” Margo said, “Thursday or Friday would be best for me. Let me know in the morning. I’m going to the movies tonight.”“What are you going to see?” Michelle said.“Apocalypse Now.”“I hear it sucks,” Michelle said.“I’m going anyway. I’ll be back by eleven.”Margo went downstairs.
