1–Boundaries, Mom. She isn’t twelve. Unless she broke a commitment to you, you don’t need to know where she was.
2–Boundaries, Jane. Never answer nunnayerbizniss questions; it just gives them (a) ammo, and (b) permission to ask the next question.
3–Boundaries, Jane. Conceivably Mark doesn’t need your mom to know he’s working for his daddy now.
4–Boundaries, Mom. Fantasize about your own life, not other people’s.
I’m surprised her mom didn’t start ragging all over the poor guy. “You don’t want someone who only works at a coffee shop dear. You can do better than that!”
As for the name Jane Dane, well the other day I was at a cemetary and saw a gravestone for people with the last name of Damm. What they must’ve suffered all of their lives!

4deer, you are *so* right! Jane should have said “out treating myself to a coffee and some me time.”

Jazz it up with a few words you learned while perusing a thesaurus and you’ve got a conversation between Edna and Juliette Burber.
