Friday morning goes smoothly for both. Bette is in the gym by 7am and in spin class with Janet. Tina does rise at 8am and able to get her shower done before Angelica stirs. Mother and daughter share an oatmeal breakfast before venturing out into the cold for class at the Gymboree.

Bette: Now that was a good class, I needed that this morning.

Janet: You needed that? Are you a masochist? She kicked our butts.

Bette: Well that’s why we come here to work on our butts.

Janet: Well rumor has it you have the perfect butt girl so not sure how much more work you need.

Bette: Oh stop it, not you too. Tina gave me a hard time on Sunday. I wore these dressy black Levis to the play we saw in the Village on Valentine’s Day. She tried to get me to change, said my jeans were provocative.

Janet: See my point exactly. You my dear have the perfect ass and though I love you I hate that about you.

Bette: Right, anyway how has your week been? Are you ready to head back to Vermont?

Janet: Now that is my weekly reward. This is our week there so I am doubly ready. The four of us will be there for the weekend but Jen and Brent will come back alone Sunday night. We’ll stay through next Sunday then they’ll spend the week. My parents will come up at some point during the week too. I think Brent’s parents are coming up during their week.

Bette: You are lucky to still have your parents. My mom took off when I was little and I lost my Dad a couple of years ago. However, my sister and I are really close so I’m blessed to have her.

Janet: Wow, I didn’t realize your parents weren’t around, sorry to hear that. Jen and I are not only lucky to have our parents we have great parents. I’m sure Angelica feels the same way about you two.

Bette: She may now but in 15 years who knows.

Janet: My parents are definitely going to heaven: two teenage girls at the same time. We were more than a handful.

Bette: Hey before I get too far off track, Tina and I would like to rent your place from you for a couple of week days next month.
