In Cahoots.
Busted.
Vinnie and Ethan are conspiring again to circumvent Vinnie's diet.
Thankfully, Ethan has not yet learned the fine art of deception, so we had a conversation that went something like this:
(scrape, scrape, scrape)
Me: "Ethan. Hey. What are you doing?"
Ethan: "I gettin' mah stool!!"
[red flag]
Me: "Why are you getting your stool?"
Ethan: "I get dog food for Vinty!!*"
*As an aside, it should be noted that everything for Ethan is an exclamation and that he takes pleasure in adding consonants to words; 'Vinnie' becomes 'Vinty' or 'Vindy' and 'triangle' becomes 'tri-gang-gle.'
If you will recall, Vinnie is on a strict diet brought about by his 11-pound weight gain in one year. He has lost 4 of those pounds, but is working the system every chance he gets. He knows Ethan is the weakest link in the family, because Ethan is the messiest eater, resulting in food thrown on the floor -- often by design. Ethan is also unaccustomed to measuring food -- he has no concept of 1 cup of dog food versus 5 cups -- and I'm certain Vinnie was banking on that.
So Vinnie's not so dumb after all, and is merely taking advantage of the resources available to him by convincing Ethan to feed him.
But he is so busted.
He should know you can't play a player.
