Alex: Don't worry, guys, I'm not getting ahead of myself. Obviously, Leo has to be on board. I've been trying to think of the best way to propose. It's got to be a moment he'll never forget - special, magical! I've even considered commissioning a performance art piece from Mom. Mike: Why? Are you on drugs? Alex: Be nice, Dad. She could use the money.

Poor delusional girl getting way ahead of herself.

Alex’s birth was broadcast on cable TV as one of JJ’s performance art pieces. Mike’s seatmate on a plane felt obliged to mention JJ’s breathing was all wrong.

How could J.J. possibly use the money? She got a MacArthur some years ago.
Why does Doonesbury want to rush these things along? Let Leo & Alex continue following their careers and get out of his mother’s trailer.

Performance art? Just hope she doesn’t take off her clothes during the act.

What a way to introduce her bio-mom
babka Premium Member almost 14 years ago
uh-oh - a “helper” a “fixer” a “saver” an “enabler” of others…like the woman who goes to commit suicide, jumps off a bridge, and SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE flashes before her eyes. Alex’s own plans go into dreamland, she is so busy trouble-shooting/making it good for others.

Alex has a point…
Bail is anything but cheap.

A bonus with commissioning JJ would be letting Leo know what he’s in for. So far his interesting relatives only go as far as his Mom. It’s more fun to be the skeleton in the closet than to hide one.

Did someone say “on drugs”?

Don’t put Alex down because of JJ. She has done well, actually, better than expected of someone who has a close relative who is frequently climbing onto the 21st rung of a 20 foot ladder.
Of course, there are none like that in YOUR family. Right?
