"I'm back." Mom shouts through to us as she walks through the door.
"Kitchen!" We yell back
"Okay, I couldn't make up my mind, so I got 'the shining' and 'bringing up baby.' Now, I know what you're thinking, one's a movie about a homicidal parent, and the other one is..." mom begins but stops as she sees me, Rory and Sookie blocking something on the kitchen table. "Hello."
"Hi, mom." Me and Rory greet in sync.
"What did you break?" Mom questions
"Nothing! Well, the broiler. But this came for you and max." We move out of the way to reveal a present with a big bow on top.
"We think it's a wedding present." I add
"Huh. Hmm. Lorelai Gilmore and max medina. Well, guess news doesn't always travel fast." Mom reads the label on the gift.
"Are you gonna open it? Aren't you curious?" Sookie asks
"Nope, just leave it there. I'll take it back tomorrow." Mom explains
"But there's not a return address." Rory points out
"Isn't there a card?"
"Maybe there's one inside." I suggest
"With a return address on it." Sookie adds
"But that means you'd have to open it." Rory continues
"Fine. Give me a knife." Mom sighs
"Mmm! This is so exciting!" Sookie exclaims but stops as she sees moms face. "Maybe not."
"An ice cream maker!" Me and Rory freak out as we see the gift inside.
"A musso lussino 480!" Sookie shouts
"Somebody sent me a fascist ice cream maker?" Mom asks
"Italian design, stainless steel body, chrome finish." Sookie explains
"And no Card — Perfect."
"Jackson just got his Sookie crop! We can make cider ice cream!" Sookie tells us
"Yes, using his ice cream maker. But Il Duce here is going back." Mom justifies
"To where?" Rory questions
"Yeah, maybe it's an orphan." I joke
"That's right. We'd be giving it a home."
"One again. I bring up the fact that this is a wedding present. And as I am not getting married, neither gods law nor Emily post allows me to keep this." Mom sighs again
"But isn't there a rule about late presents?" Rory points out
"Luke if it arrives after a certain date, the giver forfeits all rights of return." Sookie adds
"Exactly."
"Nice try." Mom compliments us
"It's true. I saw it on Martha Stewart. She was doing one of those programs. The first half was in massaging you dog, and she had this chow, and she was rubbing it—" Sookie begins to ramble.
"—Sookie!"
"The second half was about gifts, and she said that if it arrives after ten weeks—"
"—eight weeks." Rory interjects
"—Eight weeks, you don't have to return it." Sookie finishes
"Okay, this is shaping up to be one of those moments that St. Peter's gonna show on the bug video screen when I die, and I don't wanna see us staggering around with cider ice cream slathered all over our faces while my soul hangs in the balance. So, until I can find out who seng this, no one touches it. And we are watching the shining." Mom states
