"I know, our little brother can go on and on," Eve retorted. "Shush," Harry's wife instructed the two women, "It would do you both good to listen to what he has to say." "We are but don't you think it's a little odd coming from a man who hasn't spoken to his family in over 15 years?" Glenda reminded Harry's wife. "That is until he found out that Daddy was signing over the farm to one of us kids," Eve winked.
