Ron: "Oh, Pops married some American journalist in Paris--Miriam Press--or whatever. We never knew much about her. One of those American ex-patriots."

Ron: (sheepish grin) "Oh, yeah--what you said. Um, what prompts this question?"
Kim: (affecting nonchalance) "Oh, nothing. It was no big. Just curious. (sigh of relief "Thank goodness. What if Ron turned out to be--Aunt Mim's GRANDSON? Me--dating my COUSIN? EWW! SO THE INCEST! Well (sigh) false alarm.")
