I have a feeling, somewhere in the depths of the Got Issues? forum, there will be an issue about banning chairs.

Cut having both parents and just make it one. Eliminate the "The mother soon adds on." Again, you want to avoid dialogue interuptions unless there is a super compelling reason. I think try to restructure a bit so fewer commas are needed, the amount of interruptions and asides make the dialogue to be jerky and a bit hard to follow overall.

You need to actually do this. It would be glorious.

I'm thinking I should make it as a joke draft, because I really don't care whether or not it's accepted.

What? Helaw's chair-draft? I know its a joke, but you'd still have to at least credit him as co-author, I think.

Alright, but I either wait about 4 days or wait for 3 people to tell me to submit the draft, whichever comes first. So since what you are sorta saying is I can submit (I hope), so that will leave me with two other people to count upon.
