hey, vi, harvey says.

did you know the average woman

is happiest when she prepares food in her own kitchen

and sits down with the family to enjoy it?

viola is cutting up chicken in the back room.

where’d you hear that, harv?

harvey says: johnny reeves was in the store

picking up groceries for old mrs. reeves.

he had a crowd gathered around him

and he was preaching. he said we’d all be better off if we

got the family

out of the restaurant

and back to the dinner table.

he said the average woman,

she loves her home and family first.

she might have got distracted

when she was earning wages

while her man fought in the great war.

but the trend is the other way now.

viola says:

was iris weaver in the store when he was doing this preaching?

harvey says:

no. matter of fact he waited until she left.

viola nods and smiles.

i guess he did.
