Exactly. Even just “No, it’s fine, but can you give us a minute?” would have worked. Ah well. At least the conversation started. The ice is broken. They can pick it up from there. And maybe even get into how she never told Dad, either.
To be fair, Dad already knows. About both of them. No doubt they’ll want to be angry that he never let on, but I expect he’ll just raise an eyebrow and ask “Really?” or somesuch and they’ll realize that their never having told him may be a bigger offense. And Mark will no doubt find the entire exchange funny as heck since he’s been patiently waiting for that moment for a long time now.
Isn’t Jan like 5’1 or 5’3 tall? And she’s standing a full head head above her daughter. Is Jackie that short? She’s 16, that’s basically grown. She’s tiny.
“Sorry, kids, I need to talk to my daughter about something.”
“Oh, sorry, Mrs. Jones.”
…This ain’t hard, Jan. 🙂
Doing the obvious isn’t Jan’s strong suit.

Almost blew her cover.
“Because I’m your mom and this isn’t exactly safe and legal work.” :p
“Oh, nothing much. Mom-daughter stuff.”
“Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with superheroes, secret identities and all that.”
“Um… Okay?”
This issue has been brought to you by the word “Meandering”

You should go to the cast page.
14, was that awhile ago, because I recall her driving. Could be misremembering on that one tho.
Jan is 5’7″, Jackie is 5’3′” and like most teens is perpetually slouching.
I was looking for the cast page before, took awhile to find it.
Still, that looks to be more than a 4 inch difference, especially since both are slouching and Jackie is at her chin. :p
so, this is every other week now, right?
I think its just that time of year that slows these types of things down.
