for the record. if you need cheryl to do something for the next 5 mins, don't do 2 things, 1. don't say don't say "don't laugh", and don't let her look at mel's face. because she'll launch into her legendary silent squeals of imploding painful laughters.

and she laughs.

and she laughs.

and she laughs.

her face flushes pink, and she starts to tear. she'll be useless for the next 15 mins.
