Sam shuffles up the walk to the porch. The door opens andthe ladies stream out. A couple smile at Sam, most don'trecognize him. He stands to the side and plasters apolite grin on his face as he waits patiently for them toclear the door. Brenda and Ginny stand in the door andwave.

"Thank you for coming." Brenda yells after them.
As soon as the ladies are out of earshot, Ginny leansagainst the doorjamb and groans.
Ginny rubs a hand over her stomach. "I sincerely want to puke. His relatives are animals."
She slides back into the house. Brenda looks at Sam.
"Why didn't you say hello to them?" She accuses.

"Don't be smart with me Samuel."
Brenda goes back in the house. Sam shakes his head indisbelief.

He turns slowly to try and sneak back down without gettingnabbed by the grandparents. A creaky stair gives him away.
Dorothy and Howard turn around. They're startled untilthey recognize Sam. Howard reaches for his pants.
"Samuel!" Dorothy shouts excitedly.
"Sam. . ." He mumbles under his breath.
Howard moves closer, reaching out for a hug. "How's my little pumpkin."
"Fine, Grandpa. How are you guys?
Howard gives him a hug and passes him to Dorothy who bearhugs him. Sam grimaces as he's engulfed in his grandmother's arms.
