Transcript:
Val: Hi, Phil! Want to come over tonight? Phil: I'd love to...but it's Aunt June's birthday. I'm cooking her dinner. Phil: You and the girls should join us! Val: OH! Um, OK... Rena: A family dinner with Phil and his aunt? THAT sounds serious. Val: One small step for most people, one giant LEAP for me.

Giant leap is right. Usually she’d come up with 17 excuses not to by now. “Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you’ll be walking out the door.” (Santa Claus is Coming to Town movie, 1970)

You go girl! I’m excited to see how the girls act in front of Aunt June… I’m sure they’ve seen her before.

Be sure to get Aunt June a birthday card, and maybe the girls can make her a little gift.

Why is that a big step? Val and the girls already know Aunt June. She lives in their neighborhood and hung with Evie before she started seeing Arnold.
