Crazy Woman: "I can't stay late, I have to go home and change for a going-away party Crazy Friend is having for child who needs disciplining."
Me: "Whare's child who needs disciplining going on his trip?"
CW: "Oh it's not a trip, he's going to rehab tomorrow."
Me: "She's having a party
before he goes to rehab?"

CW: "Well, she doesn't want him to feel like he's being punished by being sent away."
True story. No wonder child who needs disciplining is such a mess. At last count he'd been to rehab 3 times.
