Glad a nine year-old didn't hear what i just heard. Here's the skinny: somebody was

talking about 3k all inclusive va-ca (in a certain (southern) nation where idols are everywhere, the government about as corrupt as 3-day roadkill...hmm, how that always goes together.   Oh wait, then comes the third cord:  those armpit places treat their citizens like garbage - uh, no wonder they're coming up here. 

Anyway, the other couple made it perfectly clear, kids aren't welcome - i.e., don't bring her kids.  Well, the woman doesn't really want to go, for one or more reasons.  Sounded, in the tone of her voice, like she had been taken aback by the very vaIn comment.    Yeah, Jane is the sort of woman who likes her kids, likes being around them. 

For what it's worth, that's my impression of Jane.  She married (a Man -- ya know XY chromosome) had two, maybe three, children.  And the couple enjoyed their kids' company.  Those kids are grown now, and it seems like Jane had been offended by the vaIn comment because it's as if ms.vanIty just trashed one or more persons with whom Jane enjoys social activities. 

Btw, saw an ad for one of those "all inclusive."  Yeah, all the food was included, but they said "more" but not "all" drinks.  Yeah, that's how them repros get ya.  DrIIInks, they can pour the lot of 'em down the crapper - where booze belongs.
