[02:33.26]YVONNE:Ah,well,your child asked me if she should look at cars with 6-cylinder engines.

[03:10.42]She would finish off a pot of coffee and not make more.That is so rude.
[03:18.50]One day I reminded her very nicely to make another pot.
[03:24.10]She said she didn't know how.I offered to teach her.
[03:27.58]And she told me not to bother because then she would have to do it.
[03:32.86]That's when I called her an arrogant 6 little groundhog.
[03:37.15]I did.I said,"You arrogant little groundhog."
[03:43.73]RICHARD:Well,the groundhog is leaving.Excuse me.
