They're awfully ingenious. They were even bickering about Junior's future mother-in-law. I suppose she's still in school, whoever she may be!
MRS. JOHNS
Being a mother-in-law is almost as painful as being a mother.
MRS. SHEFF
I think every marriage ought to be preceded by a treaty of peace between the two mothers. If they understand each other, everything will work out all right.
MRS. JOHNS
You're right. When each one takes sides with her own child, it's fatal.
