Lois glared back. "You can have him."
Ah - words you'll live to regret…

"Dad! I haven't even kissed her in ten years!"
This touched me - that he would still remember (and count) the kiss he gave her as a child. <sniffle>

"Will you please tell Dad to stop worrying? I'm not going to have sex with Lois tonight. It's our *first* date."

"I can't promise that I won't *wish* I hadn't promised that from time to time,
I hope we get to read that scene. laugh

Poor Sam, though. He has no idea that his shotgun would have zero effect. wink

Excellent beginning, Carol. Every other day, you said? So there's a new part tomorrow?


Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.

Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.
