Agnes Doesn’t DIY

April 17, 2024March 23, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah asks Agnes to teach Ursula to make doilies but gets an answer he wasn't expecting.

Noah miscalculates Agnes’ craftiness… also, the apple sure don’t fall far from the tree, but which tree?

Ursula’s Christmas List

Merry Christmas!

February 7, 2024December 24, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula is kneeling on the floor next to Grandma Agnes' Christmas tree while baby Valerie plays with the discarded wrapping paper from the opened presents and Agnes sits in a chair drinking cocoa. Ursula asks Agnes, "Grandma, how come Santa's tags have your writing on them?" Agnes concocts some BS answer: "Well, Santa's very busy with delivering presents so he doesn't have time to fill out all the tags." Ursula next asks, "Why don't the elves write the tags?" and Agnes tells her "Elves can't read and write, dear." Ursula counters, "That's not what Granny Thorsen says."

  Merry Christmas, all!

Agnes Returns

February 7, 2024December 17, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Agnes stands next to her suitcase, arms open to Ursula running towards her. Ursula says to her, "Grandma! Thank God you're back from Mexico! They made me do chores and learn Danish and row!" Grandma Agnes smiles and replies, "Oh, how fun! Did you row all the way to England?" Ursula groans, "Ugh... no!" and Agnes replies, "That's OK. You'll get there."

  Not quite the response Ursula was hoping to get out of Grandma Agnes.

Spice Girls Shopping

February 7, 2024November 29, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Grandma Agnes has brought Ursula to the antiques mall to shop for Ruth. Grandma Agnes says, "OK, keep your eyes peeled for something your mommy would like for Christmas." Ursula immediately points to a boxed set of five Spice Girls on Tour dolls and says, "Is that a set of Spice Girls dolls?" Surprised, Agnes says, "Huh? Oh, yes. It is." Ursula replies, "Cool, our work here is done. Now for that pizza and ice cream you promised."

  Trust Ursula to find the quickest route to finishing up her Christmas shopping.

Santa Agnes

February 7, 2024November 28, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is decorating a large Christmas tree in the living room while Grandma Agnes talks to Ursula and asks, " So what do you want from Santa, Ursula?" Ursula responds with her wish list, "I want a bunch of those Foodie Mini Brands balls, and the Lego Goat Boat set and the Lego tiger, and a rock tumbler and a candy chemistry set and..." Grandma Agnes interrupts her to ask, "Don't you want any Barbies?" Ursula replies, "Naw, I'm kinda over Barbie. Plus Mommy keeps insisting I shouldn't play with them because they'll be worth money someday." Furious, Grandma Agnes growls and says, "Your mommy needs to get her own Barbies!" and Ursula tells her, "She does have her own. She keeps them locked away from me... and from Daddy and his GI Joe dolls." Incensed, Noah interrupts his tree-decorating to say, "Hey! They're not dolls, they're action figures!"

  Well, one supposes the 12″ GI Joes do see a lot of action with Barbie… also, we can tell what Grandma Agnes bought Ursula for Christmas.

Inflatables

February 7, 2024November 26, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Frank are digging out the big box of Christmas lights. Agnes has her coat on and says to Frank, "OK, we're going antiquing. Make sure you keep things tasteful with the lights." Frank replies, "Yes, dear" while Noah grins slyly and says nothing. Once Agnes has left, Frank turns to Noah and says, "Alright, the wives are gone. Go get the giant tacky inflatables." Noah smiles and says, "On it!"

  You just know that as soon as Agnes returns and is annoyed, Frank is going to try to say the inflatables were Noah’s idea.
