Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ms Southworth" data-source="post: 98310" data-attributes="member: 312">Great breakfast scene at Southfork! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05164.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":jolly:" title="Jolly    :jolly:" data-shortname=":jolly:" />  I was always a fan of family meal scenes like this one! And in many ways, it was easy to imagine it being played out for real! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k0512.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":gotcha:" title="Gotcha    :gotcha:" data-shortname=":gotcha:" />Even though I really liked this scene, I have to wonder why Bobby and Pam didn’t sleep in and instead met up with their family for lunch instead of breakfast! If they really did get home as late as Clayton said they did, I would have thought that it would be difficult (if not impossible) for them to have time to “recuperate” from not only getting to bed really late, but also “recuperate” from a fight and a sprained ancle! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />  After all, they’re not 20 anymore! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  But I know that this is pure (television) fiction, and that everything doesn’t have to make perfect sense! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Great dialogue about John Ross’s date! <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/shappy_clap_100-101.gif?w=150&h=133"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":clap:" title="Clap    :clap:" data-shortname=":clap:" />  I laughed quite a few times! :lolo:  Oh Christopher, thumbs up to you for putting your cousin in the “hot seat”! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />  I laughed at JR’s comment (“That’s my boy!”) the first time, but when he more or less repeated himself a bit later (“That makes me really glad to hear!”), I thought that it showed poor judgement on his part (and thus bad parenting skills like @Presea’s already stated)! :mo:Ray’s comment about “being responsible” was hilarious, as was Christopher’s rolling eyes! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />   However, I was very surprised at and somewhat disappointed in Sue Ellen’s comment: “John Ross wasn’t born yesterday!” IMO, she patrionized Ray, who was only trying to do right by his nephew! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" />  And why would Sue Ellen offer to pick up John Ross straight after the movie (and IMO, early), if she had complete “faith” in her 16 year old son? <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/think/m1703.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":think:" title="Think    :think:" data-shortname=":think:" />  It would make sense that John Ross and Paula go for coffee or something to talk after the movie and then he could be picked up at say  ... midnight! (But I guess that Sue Ellen is more curious about her son's date than she is worried about his safety!)I was thrilled to hear that Christopher wants his mom’s help in planning his upcoming birthday party! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0157.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dance:" title="Dance    :dance:" data-shortname=":dance:" />  Mother and son have come a long way in the past two months or so! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k05142.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":kiss:" title="Kiss    :kiss:" data-shortname=":kiss:" />Funny conversation about Bobby and Pam’s visit to the disco! <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />   I liked these comments:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">JR:   “That’s quite some shiner you’ve got there little brother!” <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/psmile/strong/p1008.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":box:" title="Box    :box:" data-shortname=":box:" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bobby:   “I must say that things sure have changed since the 1980s…” <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pam:  “... ... when we arrived at the club the kids were dancing…no…groping each other during a slow dance and everywhere people were making out!”  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite10" alt=":oops:" title="Oops!    :oops:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":oops:" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Clayton:   “Does that mean you hop up and down when you dance?”  :merry:</li> </ul>My overall favorite parts of this entire scene have to be when the children asked questions or commented:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rebecca:   “What’s making out?”  <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_dielaughing_100-100.gif?w=150&h=127"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":laughs:" title="Laughs    :laughs:" data-shortname=":laughs:" />    and a bit later ... ... “What’s intense?” <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_crying_100-101.gif?w=150&h=123"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":haha:" title="Haha    :haha:" data-shortname=":haha:" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Christopher:   “You danced to hip hop? ... ...
