Edward Sullivan and Lara Kemnis didn't immediately grasp the deeper meaning in Sarah Sullivan's words.
It was Nora Sullivan who understood Sarah better.
With a little thought, she got the biting sarcasm in Sarah's words.
The first number in the world of numbers is "1," followed by "2."
The first letter in the world of letters is "A," followed by "B."
So was Sarah calling them "2B" idiots?
"Mom, Dad, she's cursing at us again!" Nora complained.
"Cursing? What curse?" Edward asked.
"She called us all 2B." Nora looked like she could barely bring herself to say it but felt she had to.
"Hmph! Ignore her! She's just spouting nonsense! Now that she's signed it, what more could she do? Let's go! Let's pop some champagne to celebrate!"
Edward started out confident, but as he spoke, his expression suddenly changed!
Something's wrong!
There's a trick!
When something's too unusual, there's always something in hiding!
When Sarah signed just now, Edward thought she'd been fooled.
