LOL. I actually read through the entire thread because I wanted to post the same things.

"If the grumpy uncle keeps costing me money, why are you baking more cookies for him!?!?" (after the last two emails, where both emails bankrupted us because he wanted two different amounts for the dentist bill, and we couldn't pay either one.) Can we please disown the old fart?

I have gotten the train, giggle party, listening to stories from adults dropped on kids (kind of like in VV when the chief talks to all the kids), and also an adult will sometimes tickle the child instead of telling a story.

I took the longest time to figure out how to make them cook a meal: drop them on the table. Is there a similar magic place to drop them to make them clear the meal? All I get are people looking for snacks (I just FED you!!)
