127. Say Yes!

Order up some lo mein and a Pepsi, it's time for chapters 5-6 of "One Crazy Summer" by Rita Williams-Garcia! First and foremost, please excuse Jody's terrible sound quality (we blame Gremlins). Delphine and her sisters are starving, so Cecile barricades the verboten kitchen and sends them out to fetch dinner from Ming's. They make a pricey call to Big Ma and meet a boy with a Burning Man wheelchair. Back at home, Cecile is visited by three mysterious figures. Who could they be?! Jody recalls the time when she fielded collect calls from metalhead prisoners, and Alison reminisces about the time she was able to shower in the morning. There's dramatic readings, fabulous TV commercials from 1968, and some surprise cupcakes! What a night.
