Talk with Mom
Gloria: "I decided to have a lovely sit down with Bonnie and talk about Lorenzo and his behavior."

Gloria: "So what happened to your husband?"

Bonnie: "He moved back to Buena Park, California with his parents."

Gloria: "So tell me about Lorenzo's behavior. How did it go?"

Bonnie: "The last school that he was expelled from was Magic Kingdom Nursery School for terrorizing the other children. He picked up a chair and threatened to throw it at them and he also was very aggressive towards the staff. And as a result, he was told to leave the program, indefinitely..."

Gloria: "Did Lorenzo ever ruin any holidays?"

Bonnie: "Yes, he ruined Halloween by putting cherry bombs inside the jack-o-lanterns during a Halloween carnival."

Gloria: "My word..."

Bonnie: "And he also ruined Thanksgiving by knocking over the table and making a huge mess, food, dishes and all and he even smashed Nathan's centerpiece with a wooden hammer."

Gloria: " "

Bonnie: "And Christmas was simply dreadful because when we went to see Nathan in the Nutcracker ballet, Lorenzo was very disruptive during the performance. He took flash photos of the dancers, causing a distraction. We went to see A Christmas Carol play that Nathan was starring in and Lorenzo went into the control room and fooled around with the effects. He knocked over the Christmas tree and broke several ornaments whilst throwing them at his younger cousins, Isabelle, Rochelle, Tony, Francesca, Gino and Donatello. He also gobbled up all the cookies and fudge. And then on Christmas Day, Lorenzo got a note from Santa Claus who was really, really angry with him and then he looked into his stocking and finds nothing but lumps of coal in his stocking. And then he viciously attacked Nathan for being the only one in this family to get presents before stealing all of his cousins' presents and claimed them as his own."

Gloria: "That's an interesting career."

Nathan: "I always hated Lorenzo so I wanted to do these things."
