(I set myself up for a joke there and then I couldn't go through with it. This is only going to get tougher.)

Apparently the Francis household is going away for the weekend on a ski trip and I wonder if any of the hobgoblins that haunt the place will be tagging along. Sally, however, does not appreciate being made to wear used boots and while that may be understandable, the bratty way she expresses it is so typically teenage that I find myself drifting toward Betty's side in the argument. Or as close to Betty's side in an argument with Sally as I get, which isn't very close -- but you still get the point. Betty snaps that Sally is coming and she's not going to sit in the lodge and read a book either, but Sally shoots right back that she doesn't need to go and watch the rest of them "laugh your heads off," and she's old enough to stay home by herself. And I'd agree with her, if we weren't going to be witness to a particularly graphic argument against. Sally asks to go to Don's and when Betty inquires as to whether he and Megan ever take her on vacation, Sally snits that they took her to Disneyland "where it's warm." She doesn't add that it's the place where fathers meet wives they actually like, but Betty must know what she's getting at and she seethes that sure, Sally can go hang out with her, because she lets Sally do whatever she wants. Sally: "She lets me eat whatever I want." Betty takes in this slam on her weight gain and adds it to the knife-twisting about Don and Sally's deft conversational brattiness...
