Troubled youth

Mary Worth, 3/27/24

God bless Mary Worth for sticking to its strengths, which is putting ordinary people into compelling situations and having them say things that are sort of like something an actual human would say, but not really -- not, like, dramatically off, but, you know, off enough. I know that when I'm feeling down for the next few months, I'm going to be able to cheer myself up my thinking about an actual 20-year-old person announcing "She's fine! She had a change of heart about cutting me out of her life, and wants to reconnect with me ... [extremely dramatic pause] ... HER ONLY CHILD!"
