“Tell
me again why I have to do this?” Rory asked picking up a basket from the pile
market with a worn sign that read sale.

“Because
you’ve been doing this since you could lift a basket with both hands…” class=SpellE>Lorelai answered not batting an eye.

“And
isn’t that enough time of servitude?”

“You’re
in Stars Hollow hon,” Rory’s mother looked up
feigning a motherly instinct, “it’s a life sentence.”

“Yes,
but it was one thing when I didn’t know any better, I’m older” Rory pressed,
“Now it just makes me feel like a street walker on display”

“Then
call Taylor Miss Kitty. He wouldn’t take
no for an answer.”

“class=SpellE>Ow…” Rory resigned to one more year of embarrassment, then
noticing her mother’s own lack of complaint asked, “Why aren’t you whining
about having to do this? I usually have
to drag you kicking and screaming to the auction block”

“Ah
yes, the summer of 96…” Lorelai sighed, “Good times…
I have a plan this year.”

“Are
our sprinklers acting up again?” Rory asked raising an eyebrow.

“Well
they have been making a gurglelly sound when the
water is running but--“

“And
are you going to do the ol’ Oh! I dropped my pen routine when Roy Wilkins comes over?” Rory
started wide-eyed.

“Ah…style='mso-spacerun:yes'> No, I--“

“Oh!
You can wear that purple skirt that does that flippy
thing when you twirl…”

“class=SpellE>Ror”

“Without
underwear on…” Rory pressed.

“Okay!
…you’re your mother’s daughter.” Lorelai snapped
amused.

“That
hurt!” Rory stopped soberly.

“I
can only call it like I see it sister”

“It
still hurt…” she said pouting as she picked up another basket.

“Not
that one”

“Why not?”

“Doesn’t
match your nails” Lorelai said not looking up.

“class=SpellE>Ow…” Rory set the basket down.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> This was going to be a long day.
