Having finished the foyer the three of them returned to the tents just as Kathy arrived with their lunches. And, as Joseph rushed to get his two plates, Maelyn jokingly told her to embarrass him, "Hey Kathy! I think your grandson needs to go on a diet before he falls through the floors of this palace! So you probably need to cut him down to just one plate per meal for a day or two at least!"
"Actually I was thinking of making use of that vacuum he calls a stomach." Kathy joked back in return, "I 'm thinking I could just refuse to bring him a plate of his own and use him as a garbage disposal by letting him clear the plates of any food left by the others and then making him wash them clean when he's done!"
"That works even better!" Abjul jokingly offered, "Then he could learn how to do household chores that might help him attract a woman needing those skills in her life!"
