 Laura and Ralph’s nephew is getting married, and Ralph’s sister is flying in from Croatia for the wedding. She is bringing her baby that the family has not met yet. (She and her husband moved to Croatia for work and have no family there.) The bride is insistent that it’s a no child wedding and does not want them to bring the eleven-month-old. Ralph thinks they should offer to skip the wedding and babysit their baby niece so his sister can go and have fun at the wedding with all the family she never gets to see anymore. Laura thinks this isn’t their problem. The bride should allow the baby and is being ridiculous, but it’s not their position to offer to skip the wedding to watch the baby.

Laura has a chance to win $6000! All she has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can’t Beat Raven!
