Been running behind this week, my apologies. See you all Monday
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

Nah, I wanted a bigger fire….
Good thing Satan is always on standby for some plausible deniability.
Geraldine Jones knew all about that.
(Holy crap, I’m old.)
Steve Rogers raises his hands; “I got that reference.” (Although, he wouldn’t… actually.)
Satan must feel like that demonic duck from El Goonish Shive right now.
“Ugh, they’re using me as excuse AGAIN?”
Hey, is that an actual Satan of some sort?
Ha! If either of those two go to Hell the Devil would just send them back because they were too much to handle.
He’d be afraid they’s take over.
That’s the gist of “The Farmer’s Curst Wife”, my favorite setting being by Seamus Ennis.
That was also an episode of “God, The Devil, and Bob,” a short-lived series in which God agrees to destroy the world and start over again, and let’s the Devil pick the one person who’s behavior will determine if God follows through on his promise. The Devil picks a total slacker named Bob (God, to audience; “Don’t start any long books.”) One episode has the Devil bringing down Martha Stewart to redecorate Hell, she ends up taking over and the Devil is stuck in his room, terrified of her!
Honestly I would not allow kids that age around power tools without constant direct supervision for even a second
They were supposed to be waiting outside in the hall, but they came back inside on their own
Unfortunately, sometimes they sneak behind your back like the girls did when they were supposed to be waiting outside the room.
I like how Andi both kept to the NDA’s AND “explained” the mess… the only drawback is that Theo will practically instantly see thru the lie because there isn’t any of the wood-burning gear laying around on the benches, or the ground if they really had been using it… and there wasn’t enough time for them to have “put it all away” especially if Andi literally JUST got done with the fire-extinguisher, you wouldn’t go and neatly put away some tools, while there is a fire burning merrily out of control, and THEN put the fire out…
Andi seems to have recovered her aplomb since the NDA and the startling disclosures. Not knowing seems to be worse than knowing the worst for her.
Nice save Andi.
Well, the girls are going to be banned from the wood shop for a little while after this. Theo strikes me as the kind of grampa that it’s all fun and games but if you break one of his cardinal rules, he will drop the hammer like Thor on Thanos.
He’ll let them back in eventually, the lessons he wants to teach are important, but honestly, a suspension from the shop is warranted. They knew the dangers of the tools in the shop as he has been adamant throughout. I do believe Scantrontb though is correct, he will notice the kit isn’t out and will question the story, but for now, he’ll go along with it.
We have seen in other arcs before this, he’ll pretend or he’ll play along as far as the first ‘speed bump’ and then it’s “Ok, all the truth, right now!” Would not wanna play Poker nor Bridge with this guy. This guy is way to sharp. I bet you his chisels wanna be that sharp.
Does the swear jar apply to Theo too?
