The couples all look at one another, and there are a few smiles and some laughs exchanged.
“In ten years, we’ll still be friends. We’ll still be talking about sex all the time and doing inappropriate things in public,” Jim tells us with a chuckle.
“In ten years, I hope I’m living next door to my best friend so I can just walk over there if I need her. Even if Seduction and Snacks is no longer around, at least I’ll still have her. And sex toys,” Liz says with a smile.
“Awwww, you’re going to make me cry!” Claire tells Liz.
“And you’re going to make me puke. Cut it out!” Drew yells at them.
“In ten years, I hope I’m still waking up every morning next to my soul mate,” Carter admits with a smile in Claire’s direction.
“What is this, Lifestyles of the Gay and Sappy? Come on!” Drew complains.
“In ten years, I hope they have a Skittles remover and I can still put my feet behind my head in a hammock,” Jenny tells everyone.
“In ten years I hope I’ve forgotten every part of that sentence,” Jim states.
“In ten years, I’ll still be banging my hot wife. Hopefully by then they will have invented honey that isn’t so sticky and corn stalks that don’t chafe so much when you tie them to your penis,” Drew states.
“In ten years, I hope Drew stops talking about his penis and the weird things he does with it,” Claire says with a roll of her eyes. “But we’ll definitely still be friends. We’ll all have teenagers then and will need as much support as we can get,” she laughs.
“In ten years I’ll be twenty. I’ll be able to carry a gun and pistol whip Drew,” Gavin says.
“You can’t carry a gun at twenty! And anyway, I will still be bigger than you in ten years, kid,” Drew argues.
“Yeah, but you’ll be old. And you’ll probably need a walker and someone to change your poopy diaper,” Gavin argues back.
“How the hell do you even know what pistol whip means?” Claire asks in shock.
“PlayStation. Duh,” Gavin replies back.
“I’m not going to have poopy diapers, YOU’RE going to have poopy diapers,” Drew tells Gavin.
“You can’t even spell poopy,” Gavin replies in a bored voice as his sister Sophia climbs onto his lap and gets comfortable.
“I can spell poopy!” Sophia announces.
“It’s called SPOOPY!” Drew and Jenny’s daughter Veronica announces proudly.
“SPOOP!” Billy shouts from his place on the floor in between Jim’s daughters.
Everyone stares down at Billy in shock.
“Did he just say spoop?” Liz whispers.
“What the hell is spoop?” Carter asks.
“Oh my God, our son’s first word is spoop?!” Jenny screeches as she smacks Drew’s arm.
“This is NOT my fault. It’s Jackson’s fault!” Drew argues.
“Do I really have to put that in his baby book? I CANNOT write the word 'spoop',” Jenny says.
“I can. I know how to spell spoop,” Gavin tells her.
“So do any of you have plans for more children?”
All three couples chime in at once and without any hesitation.
“OH HELL NO!”
“As we close our interview with the women who started Seduction and Snacks and their loving families, I think it’s clear to everyone that this group will remain friends for a very long time. They will continue to follow their dreams and watch their business grow into something none of them ever saw coming. They will also share in the joys of watching their children grow up together and form their own close-knit friendships and who knows, maybe one of them will have a story of their own to tell us down the road. I have a feeling we haven’t heard the last from the gang at Seduction and Snacks!”
