I was so happy that USA showed three episodes of House last night!
Let's Give Them Something To Talk About
After the initial met and greet, the group broke up into three different groups. John, Warren, Cory, and Denise went to the backyard to start the grill. Blythe, Abby, Cuddy, and Natalie went into the kitchen to help Blythe bake cookies. House, Wilson, and Freddie stayed in the living room.
"Why didn't your mom go with the rest of the girls?" House asked Freddie.
"She goes wherever dad goes," Freddie said. "She doesn't really like people."
"That's understandable," House said. "People suck."
"Not all people," Wilson said. "Just you."
"Since you can't see Freddie, I am going to tell you that I am about to smack him across the face with my can," House said.
"Are you guys are best friends?" Freddie asked.
"Til death do us part," Wilson said. "It will most likely be his because Cuddy will kill him."
"Really?" Freddie asked. "She seems so nice."
"She is," House said. "I am just that big of a jerk."
"I hear wind chimes," Freddie said out of the blue.
"They're in the back hard," House said. "My mom loves the sound of them."
"She must because they were about to drive me nuts last night while I tried to sleep," Wilson said.
"So do you have like super hearing?" House asked Freddie.
"It is not better than most people's, except that I know how to use it better," Freddie said.
"If I dropped a pin right now, would you be able to hear it?" House asked.
"I would if it was a ballpoint pen," Freddie said. "I am pretty sure that you could hear that too."
"And there is the House smart mouthyness coming out of him," Wilson said.
"I know," House said. "I am so proud. So what kind of music do you listen too. If I was you, music would be my life."
"It is your life now," Wilson said.
"Not totally," House said. "I like my TV too."
"I like The Raconteurs, The Automatic Automatic, Rooney, The Strokes," Freddie said. "Music like that."
"I have never heard of any of those bands," Wilson said.
"That's because you are a big L 7," House said.
"L 7?" Wilson asked.
"A square," House said as he made an L with one hand and a 7 with the other to form a square.
"Stay away from him Freddie," Wilson said shaking his head. "He is a bad influence."
"It is kind of sad that he is saying that before I even pop out the liquor," House said.
"If you are a strong enough person that you can hang out with whoever you want because you are strong enough to avoid peer pressure," Freddie said.
"That must explain why Cuddy is not totally addicted to pain pills right now," Wilson said.
*******************************************
In the kitchen, the girls were talking and making cookies.
"So Lisa, do you parents like Greg pretty well?" Abby asked Cuddy.
"He's growing on them," Cuddy said.
"Greg hasn't done anything to upset them has he?" Blythe asked.
"He didn't do anything," Cuddy said. "My parents are just picky people."
"What don't they like about him?" Blythe asked.
"My dad is a doctor, so he had heard some of the stories about House and how he treats his patients," Cuddy said. "They have spent enough time with him now that they realize that he is not the same person at the hospital that he is at home."
"That's good," Blythe said. "I'd really loved to meet them sometime."
"I am sure that you will end up meeting them," Cuddy said. "My mom will spend the whole time talking about how House and I should get married."
"They should just realize that House will not be happy if they get married," Natalie said.
"What do you mean?" Blythe asked. "Lisa can make Greg happy."
"Not according to Jimmy Soul," Natalie said.
"Who's that?" Abby asked.
"A singer," Natalie said. "Natalie then started to sing a song.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
"Lisa is too good-looking," Natalie said. "Greg could never be happy." Cuddy gave Natalie a quick shove.
"I thought you were being serious," Cuddy said.
"I know," Natalie said. "You should have seen the look on all of your faces."
"Don't let your mother guilt you into getting married," Abby said. "If you guys are ever going to get married, it needs to be your decision."
"I don't think you are going to get Mrs. House to agree to that one," Natalie said. "I think she believes in the 'listen to your mother' theory."
"I do," Blythe said. "Your mother sounds like a very smart woman."
"As soon as Warren and I got married his mother started in on the baby talk," Abby said. "You are going to wish for the pressure of marriage back when that starts to happen." Cuddy could see Blythe smiling out the corner of her eye.
"Her mom already started in on that too," Natalie said.
"You just need to tell your mom to wait and good things will happen," Blythe said.
"You couldn't' tell my mother-in-law that," Abby said. "It took us 5 years to have Cory and I heard about it almost every single day before I got pregnant. I thought she was going to have an aneurysm when we actually told her that we were pregnant."
"I am afraid my mom will die if I ever tell her that news," Cuddy said.
"At least you know that she would die happy," Blythe said with a smile.
