Leave them alone to make their own bed, as it were.
Then when they wake up they will need to make a budget, get a home, and look forward to a long, hopefully happy, and prodigious family life together.
They have the perfect role models right in front of them. Speaking of which, the apples (or make that melons) don’t fall far from the tree. They will find out later just how delicious, and difficult, that model is.
True that on the yuppies, though the name and the yuppies themselves as a class, have moved into even less relevant iterations.
In The Fla OTOH, the Cubans may be the dominant Hispanics in Miami but we have about 15 different varieties in the state, all of which speak Spanish but several of which can barely even communicate with one another (and many don’t much care for one another either).
The one universal language, as to female names, is Mercedes. We got thousands of ’em of all cultures and all ages.

Mari, preferable to lying to your Mama either literally or by omission, in this instance might be “Mom I can’t keep up with that wild child any more’n you. Not my day to keep track of her either.”
Last part is optional, as smart-ass comments to Sam always must be.

Out of the mouths of babes….
Changing his oil?

I hope she doesn’t have to pump start the engine…

Oy, yey!
Ah, c’mon – there ain’t aperson in Gunpowder or on the Double-D that doesn’t already know, they’re just waiting for the official announcement!
Sayin’ Jack gonna git his ashes hauled ?
Why the rush, Jack?
In other news, the Great Sweetwater Snake Slaughter begins today. Yeesh!
Maybe tyey can save Zed some cash and have a double Betazed wedding with Travis and Mia?
Saves on wedding dresses, at least.
I went to a Betazed wedding – came within a half inch of being the best man…
Here we see Sam exhibiting a perfect “Mom Face”; you know, that look of Incredulous Horror when you did something really off the wall.
I remember it well…..
I recognize that Mari pose, perfectly drawn. That’s covering for her sister with a wistful “where’s mine?”
badger52,
“Where’s mine?” or “Where’s Ian?”
Mari,
Wisdom is saying the SECOND thing that comes to mind.
Back in 1980 with the wild child I called it ( checking her fluid levels ).
They are consenting adults.
Leave them alone to make their own bed, as it were.

“the apples (or make that melons) don’t fall far from the tree”
We had one like Kiko. My wife cursed her. (Cursed, not cussed) “One day you will have a child just like you are.”
Said child is now 12, and we are reaping our revenge in spades.
Ha ha… our story exactly, except that they are both now living WITH us! Backfired!
Fixing his car … aye.
Kiko and Jack are working really hard on that internal combustion process.
Possible names for a future kiddo … Camaro, Mustang, Charger, Corvette, Cougar, Firebird …
just not ‘mercedes’, the neo-yuppies rode that one to death
Maybe “Amenz” as in “I must make…”?
@Oldarmourer,
“Mercedes…”

Weird.
Nope, as decided previously,
It’s Zack of course.
No car can hold a candle to that.

Yes sir, as linked yesterday by cb, a genuine awakening it seems.
How many more must awaken and come to grips with what they have done, and what they and we must do now to fix it.
CRA Now!
