Kimber: Someone say “burgers”?
Mom: No, Kimmi. I said “restaurant.” Now stop vulching.
Kimber: Vulching? I am not vulching. I am merely standing guard over the kitchen, ever-vigilant in case any stray top sirloin finds its way onto the floor. By the way, what’s a “restaurant”? It has burgers, right?
