Wendy Byrde

Vaguely.

Marty Byrde

And Jonah asked, if someone's driving and they hit somebody who was walking, was that murder?

Wendy Byrde

And I said no, it was manslaughter.

Marty Byrde

He kept saying it over and over again. Manslaughter. Manslaughter...

Why are you remembering this now?

Marty Byrde

And Charlotte realized it was "mans laughter". It was funny.
