	She waited for the waiter to leave before continuing the conversation. "I've always known you to be a smart man and that just confirms my suspicions. Getting between me and my coffee isn't a good idea either, but that's only when I first wake up in the morning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy would rather forget she had a brother. "That's the best way." She offered her plate. "I wasn't sure you'd be open to sharing entrees. Sometimes when I'm out with Alice or Tim it's easier to get extra forks. Dad just lets me steal off his plate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uncle Dum Dum is doing well. I still get a kick out of it when he says he'll help me run SHIELD in a few years. The cousins are fine the last I heard. I haven't seen them this week."
