- Am I right?|- What'd you say?

I said kids don't listen.|Am I right?

- Don't listen. No.|- Yeah. Well, that's what I thought.

Of course, you could say|the same thing about men too.

- Probably your wife does all the time.|- Oh, no.

- Aren't you married?|- Married?

- No, I'm not married.|- I'm divorced, myself.

And that's another thing, you know.|Ever since my husband left us...

'Cause you know, this means|that maybe he's happy...
