Kylie: I am an excellent speller because in elementary school and most of high school I had no ( or very few poor quality) friends. Books were my friends and they taught me many things: like spelling, and various scenarios for dystopian societies; also where waldo was and that breaking my slate over a boys head was not a proper method of conflict resolution, though is usually leads to marriage in the future.
Michael: Well then it probably is proper conflict management.
Kylie: well it first creates a hostile relationship for several years and then all this pent up love builds up and kind of explodes. Then there is a period of denial which is finally conquered by a near-death experience (via Scarlet fever) and then the engagement happens and four years later the marriage occurs. There has to be an easier way.
Michael: No probably not.
Kylie: Well then I guess I better buy some slates.
Michael: And some medicine.

I leave for England in the morning!
So I probably won’t be around for a few weeks.
