At some point, we caught up to Wendy’s parents, but we could see that Wendy’s Mom’s eyes were red as apparently she had a slip and fall before we showed…

As we were starting to get overcome by this non-stop forced cheesiness that’s kind of like a cross between Pee Wee’s Playhouse and the twilight zone…
