Tori was excited to be making cookies again for the book club. She also was nagged by Stacey to make pot brownies. At least Stacey provided her with the pot. Tori was interrupted as she debated what brownie mix to get by screaming.

No surprise, it was Caren being Caren, yelling at a manager trying to explain to him how to do his job.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry this coupon expired two years ago." The manager tried to explain.

"I don't give a fuck; you can still accept it! I want my discount on my toilet paper!" Caren screamed at him.

"It's two years expired; I can't accept this." The manager once again reiterated.

"Give me my discount, or I will take my business elsewhere! I have been a loyal customer for 20 years!" She continued to scream, and the manager had finally had enough.

"Then go somewhere else." He walked away, and Caren was red in the face and fuming. Tori was pretty sure steam was coming out of her ears. She got a call from someone, though, and stormed off.

Tori finished shopping and headed home to find Linda going over some legal paperwork. "Hey, I'm home."

"Hello dear, how was your shopping trip?" Linda asked with a smile.

"It was exciting. Caren got into a screaming match with the manager." Tori chuckled.

"Oh? What store was it, Penny's?" Linda asked.

"Yeah, let's be glad she didn't ask for the owner; poor Penny would have cried." Tori laughed hysterically.

"They would have cried together; they're both crybaby bitches." Linda said with a smile playing on her lips.

"That is true; I'm going to make cookies and brownies now for the book club." Tori headed into the kitchen and cooked chocolate chip, lemon, and snickerdoodle cookies.

She then proceeded with the pot brownies, which attracted Linda to the kitchen.

"What the hell are you making?" Linda asked, knowing the smell of pot.

"Brownies, obviously," Tori said, not looking up.

"Brownies? You mean fucking pot brownies! You can't be making those here! I am a lawyer, Tori!" Linda yelled at her.

"Well, Stacey begged me; it's fine, nobody will know. Here have a cookie." She shoved a chocolate chip cookie into Linda's mouth. Linda grumbled but accepted it and walked back to the living room with her cookie.

Eventually, Tori finished the brownies and informed everyone of the treats she would bring through the group chat.

Tori: "Hey guys! I made chocolate chip, lemon, and snickerdoodle cookies for the book club. I also made pot brownies."

Stacey: "Yessss, you rock!"

Linda: "I am literally a lawyer! You can't make those in my house ever again."

Stacey: "Listen, Linda! It's just pot brownies. Calm your tits."

Linda: "Gretchen, I'd like to petition to throw Stacey in jail."

Gretchen: "That may be a possibility."

Stacey: "Gretchen, you are so two-faced! You literally just texted me how excited you were for pot brownies."

Aubrey: "Stop blowing up my fucking phone! Nobody fucking cares!"

After Aubrey's message, the chat went silent. Tori proceeded to pack up her baked goods for the club when someone knocked on the door.

Tori answered to see Lori, "Hey, Lori! What's up?" She asked.

"I need to see Linda; I uh need a lawyer...."
