"Yes, I honeyed," I said. "I saw all the pins go down."
"No, you didn't," she stepped her foot. "You were conversing with alternate mamas. You didn't take a gander at me. Everything you do is talk, talk, talk."
The string of blame hit me hard. She was correct: I was conversing with alternate mothers when the ball was in her court. Be that as it may, I looked up pretty much as all the pins toppled over. Is it accurate to say that it was past the point of no return?
