mom ended a five-minute monologue on the subject of what grocery shopping would need to be done and what rooms she would put everyone in , by rushing out of the room to check the linen closet in case they didnt have enough sets of spare sheets , and tully took advantage of her absence , blocking sugars view of the tv and saying at once , with her voice dropped , sugar , i can understand why you wanted this , and i guess im glad its happening .
