Funny!
When I first saw the title, I thought of the old W. C. Fields movie (one of his last, if not his last) entitled "Never Give A Sucker An Even Break." According to some accounts, Fields hated the title because he was sure it would be shortened on theater marquees to "Sucker" with his name under it.
So my first impression of the title was "Never Give Your In-Laws An Even Break," even though the real title was much better. And Lucy's reactions were pretty much in character - as much as we actually know of Lucy's character - so a little case of Superman hero worship in Lucy isn't out of the question. Of course she's cool with her sister! They grew up together, so she knows how whacked-out Lois can be. I'd like to see Lucy and Ellen talking about "The Secret" without letting anyone else know about it. I'd be more concerned that Ellen would blurt it out than Lucy.
Nice little tale. When will you post the next one? (Can't get away with giving us just a little taste of your twisted sense of humor. We need more! More! More!)
