I dont remember it, so I maintain that I did not, Tina answered, blushing furiously.

            What did you do? Bette asked Danny.

            *****, I couldnt believe it.  When I finally overcame my shock I pulled her off the bar and carried her the ***** out of there.  Then I took her home  a bad idea, he said cringing at the memory.

            Why? Bette asked, thoroughly entertained.

            Our father, Carrie explained.

            Oh no, Bette commented.

            Oh yes, Danny confirmed.  We pull up to the house, cause Im brilliant and I drove home, and our father is sitting on our front porch.  I had come home toasted so many times and my dad had never been waiting up.  I take out his Tina and there he is waiting on the front porch.  See, my dad thought Tina was Gods gift to him.  If he prized anything in this world, it was her.  He pushed past the dark look that passed over Tinas face and Bettes glance in her direction.  Anyhow, I give her my shirt to cover the wet t-shirt.  Luckily, there was a t-shirt in the back of the car cause I had baseball practice that day.  I tell her, just walk past him.  Ill tell him good night.  If he wants to talk you just keep going, Ill tell him youre really tired.  All the while shes nodding at me, seriously.  So I think were good.  When we get out of the car, our father stands up and gives me that Im gonna kill you, son, stare, you know?  Bette chuckled.  We walked up onto the porch and Tina, here, takes one look at dad and bursts out laughing, UNcontrollably.  At that point the whole table bursts out laughing as well, including Tina did too.  I swear to God!  And there I am thinking, were so screwed.  Turns out, we werent screwed.  I was.  They all laughed harder.  Dad tells Tina to go inside and get in bed.  And she does, mercifully.  Then my father looks at me and says, Daniel, what did you do to her?  Bette was laughing so hard she had to wipe the tears from her eyes.  I had nothing to say.  I just stood there.  He said, Daniel, Im very angry with you and if your sister isnt ok, so help me God I gave you your miserable life and I can take it away.
