On Saturday, Ray and Debra had yet another argument.
"Why can't I go have pizza with Bernie?" Ray asked Debra angrily.
"Because we are going to Gail's baby shower!" Debra replied, her face turning crimson.
Ray sighed before saying, "You never told me about it."
"Ray, I've been telling you about Gail's baby shower for three weeks now!" Debra snapped.
"No, you didn't."
Debra rolled her eyes before shouting, "I most certainly did, Ray! You just never listen!"
Without saying anything, Ray headed towards the front door.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Debra demanded.
"Across the street." Ray said, without looking at Debra.
"That's right, Ray! Go cry to your Mommy!" Debra sneered at him.
Ray turned to look at Debra,"At least my mother is not a bitter, crazy bitch like you!"
The words hit Debra like a ton of bricks. She couldn't believe what her husband said to her.
As soon as Ray left the house, Debra sat on the couch and started to sob.
Across the street, Marie was having a go at Frank as usual.
"Oh, Frank! Don't eat like such a slob!" Marie said to him.
"Hey, it's my food. I can eat it how I please." Frank snapped at her.
Ray walked in.
"Hello, Raymond." Marie smiled at him.
"Hi, Ma."
"Are you hungry?"
Ray sighed and looked at his mother, "No, I need to talk to you."
Marie could tell something wasn't right. "What's the matter?" she asked him.
"Debra and I had another argument."
Marie gasped in shock, "Oh my god, not again!"
"Oh, she wanted me to go to some baby shower and I told her that I made plans with Bernie to have pizza at Marco's." Ray replied.
"I just hope that you and Debra don't divorce. I mean, you two have had enough problems over the years as it is." Marie told him.
At that moment, Ally entered the kitchen.
"Daddy!" Ally raced over to Ray and hugged him.
Ray tried to keep a brave face for his daughter, "Hey Ally."
"I take it you and Mom had another fight?"
"I gotta hand it to ya, Marie. You sure know how to teach people to eavesdrop in other people's conversation." Frank laughed.
"Oh, shut up Frank!" Marie snapped at him.
Ally led Ray into the living room and they sat down on the couch.
"Dad, I'm worried about you." she said to him.
"Now, Ally..."
"I'm serious. I don't want you and Mom to get a divorce." Ally looked sad when she said those words.
"We are definitely not divorcing." Ray said to her.
Ally looked at him before saying, "I hope not."
"Come give Dad a hug." Ray said, opening his arms.
Ally gave Ray a big hug.
When Debra arrived home from Gail's baby shower, she immediately laid into Ray.
"Well, thanks a lot, Ray!" Debra said, slamming the front door behind her.
Ray was beginning to get frustrated, "What did I do now?!" He asked grumpily.
"I thought I told you to get petrol for the car! I was on my way home when the car suddenly stopped on the middle of the expressway and guess what the cause was? NO PETROL!" Debra shouted at Ray, furiously shoving him.
Ray looked at Debra, "I guess I forgot."
"Oh, you didn't forget! You are such an idiot, Ray!" Debra screamed at him.
"Well, if I'm such an idiot, why did you marry me in the first place?!"
Ray stormed upstairs.
"Ray, I'm..." Debra started to say.
"Forget it, Deb. I'm over you yelling at me all the damn time!" Ray yelled from upstairs.
Debra walked into the kitchen and started to sob once again.
