Part 1 of this arc mentioned that words fascinate me. Words like "affair"...
I remember, when I was a child, listening to my parents talking about an uncle who was having an affair. I had no idea what they were talking about except that whatever an affair was, it wasn't a good thing. About a month or so later several members of my extended family were sitting around my grandmother's kitchen table. Neither grandma nor grandpa were there. The adults were talking about having an affair for my grandparents' fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Everybody seemed in favor of it. This was a good thing. So I, child that I was, said in a typically loud child's voice and using words I didn't understand but that my parents used, "How come it's okay for grandma and grandpa to have an affair but not for Uncle Pip and that office floozie?"
Did I mention that Uncle Pip and my dad's sister, Uncle Pip's wife, Aunt Josie were also sitting at the table?
