Daddy Steve: Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end of summer here in the United States; a fact that has all of us feeling some angst...
Boys: Noooooooo!!!!
Robin: Instead of moaning about it, we could have a celebration.
How about a backyard barbecue?
James: I'm up for anything that involves food!
Ezra: Do we even have a grill?
Robin: Oho! Wait until you see this!
Boys: Ooooooohhhh!
Ezra: Sweet!
James: Awesome!
Bowie: She's a real beauty!
Meghan: Why do men talk about grills the same way they talk about cars?
Uli: I must make food for this event!
Paul: But Uli, it's a barbecue.
Uli: Ja, but ve must haff side dishes, salads, appetizers, desserts!
Kevin: She doesn't do anything by half, does she?
Later on...
Uli: I am not sure I haff made enough.
Holly Belle: I'm going to make my special salad.
Katie: Oh, you mean the one with green Jell-O?
Pamela: And the shredded carrots?
Ann Marie: And celery and pineapple?
Katie: Holly Belle, you really don't need to go to all that trouble. Really.
Holly Belle: Oh, it's no trouble at all.
Ann Marie: Well, the thing about your salad is...um...it's....
Holly Belle: It's what?
Rhoda: What she's trying to say is it's awful!
Holly Belle: WHAT?!?!
Ann Marie: Rhoda!
Rhoda: Hey, this is no time for diplomacy.

Rhoda, you are right: sometimes it is good to stop a long suffering ;) with a clear word. Well done!
Uli, I'm sure the food you made will be enough for a couple more kids than you are - that will be a big celebration!
That grill IS a beauty. Really.
Sometimes you just have to say it as it is! and save all the suffering ;)
and Ulli's made enough for two days
That grill is the biz! There was a raffle prize in one of the US festivals that included a Sasha who came with one of those grills, we have admired them ever since
