awkward questions - Noah's Archipelago

The Awkwardness Continues

See, this is why you don’t talk without your lawyer present, Ursula. Better yet, don’t talk at all.

Ursula and Noah need to talk, but more importantly, they ought to actually listen, too.

The penny drops and Noah learns the truth of his mother’s “pets.”

Noah knows exactly how to bribe his way into getting what he wants, and Frank is very, very bribeable.

Noah’s got his flex on, Ruth has her cringe on.

I might agree with Ursula’s priorities, but I bet her teacher wouldn’t.

$Ursula refuses to learn fractions, though Noah can think of a couple real-world cases of when they're necessary.$

I suppose Ursula’s not planning to learn to cook either, because I sure have to know quarters and halves to make dinner.

Ruth’s granny knows a cheap good time when she sees one.

Ruth’s mom laments Noah’s lack of a job and urges Ruth to “make herself available” for a cheating ex-boyfriend who is soon getting divorced.
