"Thanks." Tina smiled at him, then turned to Gina. "Do I need to sign anything, or you sign something–?"
"I’ll handle it." Gina assured her, leaving the mother/daughter tandem alone.
"Wait, about that cheque — " Angelica was cut off by her mother’s hand clamping over her mouth.
Tina rolled her eyes. "That was very considerate of Terry’s father to pay for everything."
Angelica glared at her silently, before her mother let her speak.
"So I guess I’m off the hook with the employment," Angelica grinned.
"You wish." Tina shook her head. "You, my dear, have to start learning the value of money."
"I so know the value of money." Angelica protested.
"Baby, you might want to save the adamant sentiment for your other mom," Tina told her.
Angelica sighed. "Why don’t you two ever just give me my lecture right away? Why do you lull me into a false sense of security first?"
"Well, if we told you everything right away, we wouldn’t have the right to baby you first." Tina pointed out. She smiled at her daughter. "This way you get your fun, I have mine, MaBe’s lecture is her fun, and then you get punished."
"I maintain that if Mr. Mayhew’s paying for—"
"Job." Tina said sharply, hitting her daughter in the chest with the classified ads.
"Hey, ow. Child abuse!" Angelica protested.
"How about parent abuse?" Tina returned.
Angelica sighed, and flipped open the classifieds. "What jobs are available… What jobs pay in the thousands for a day’s work?"
"Jobs that I don’t want my daughter to be in." Tina said simply.
"You’re in showbusiness. How much do you make in one day?"
"Not enough."
Angelica flipped through the ads. "These are all for minimum wage workers with no employment background and no college degree."
"Good. You’re in their target market." Tina said.
"Why can’t I just pay you back with my allowance?"
"Do I answer that, or will a glare be enough?" Tina retorted.
"I can’t wait until I move out," Angelica declared.
"Oh, baby, neither can I." Tina smiled patiently at her.
Angelica frowned at her. "You know, in some cultures people live with their parents forever."
"I love you too, baby." Was Tina’s elegant reply.
Angelica knew there was no way for her to win this, and sulked beside her mother. "So when’s the lecture going to be?"
"Now, if I told you, you’ll be prepared, and what fun would MaBe derive from that?" Tina replied. She took hold of her daughter’s arm. "Come on. Let’s go see Terry."

Wonderful dialog, as always. Thanks for brightening my Monday.
Love it….
Wonderful update.
I have a great mother myself, but it was a different era when I grew up. Very much enjoying your depiction of B & T as parents, they mangage to BE parents (to many run away from the responsability and opt to be “friends” these days)and be cool. Angelica’s a lucky girl, at least the way you depict it. I bet she had her own crib to sleep in as an infant.
My youngest son told me today that he wanted me to be his friend,I told him fine,But i was his Mother before and he had better remember that,Angie and Tina are so cute,Angie doesnt make muchoff of any of her Moms. Love this can Tina and Bette handle another child. thanks
Love the connection and rapport Tina has with Angelica. It’s so sweet, loving, and humourous. Terry’s parents are no-shows, seems like they care more about their vacation than their daughter. Thanks for the update, please continue.
Okay, the following was too damn funny: Angelica sighed, and flipped open the classifieds. “What jobs are available… What jobs pay in the thousands for a day’s work?””Jobs that I don’t want my daughter to be in.” Tina said simply.It was Chris Rock who said his only job in this life is to keep his daughters off of the stripper pole. I love your writing and can’t wait to read whatever you write next.
thanks for this cute story, Porter-Kennard family is alive and well and hopefully will be for many years to come
love this… tina and angie was good together… and mabe will get to have her fun also… too funny… so please continue…i love it…oh… it also looks like they will have another daughter…hmmmmmmmmmm looks like terry is going to be there a while…
Happy to see another post of this fic, need more and soon. Love the interaction of the whole family, no wonder Terry was a mainstay at the Kennard-Porter residance.
Excellent chapter and story. Looking forward to more.
Good chapter and looking forward!
TD,Another expressive and genuine chapter in the lives of Bette, Tina and Angelica. You have acaptured Angelica’s youthful exuberance and non-chalant way of dealing with the fall out from the accident. This is all down to your great flow and ebb of the story and dialogue. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Pleas make it soon. Your Loyal Fan.
love it..
