Original Commentary

I get the feeling a lot of Kimberly's suggestions and actual wants get this treatment...Miz Taylor only hears what she wants to, despite anything Kimberly may say or do. I was going to have her groan in that third panel.. but I figure you can fill that in for her, if you wish. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
Kimberly's usually better about standing up to her mother. But she's not prepared for this. She has limited leverage here; if Kimberly escalated by, for example, threatening to not invite her mother to the wedding, that could get Kimberly and Brisbane both fired - Terrence
