"...a long story." Judy somehow managed to finish.
"Yes… Very long." Nick nodded along. "And complicated."
"Oh, yes, totally convoluted." Judy joined the nodding. "You know, I think it's unsuitable for school."
"Agreed." Nick was never quicker to agree with his wife.
Sabrina eyed them both for a second. "Riight…" She had a feeling that this was definitely something she would want to tell at school.
