twop forum Post #260 is an articulate & generous character read of Nikki, Barb, and Margene: I find Margie sweet. A ditz, but sweet. She's got the family she's dreamed up, with a husband she can adore and have happy sex with, two pretty babies and a mom who is nicer than her own. I think she'll get better with time, as long as she's taught, I took Barb's, "She does't know how to do these little things!" as a critique against Margie's home economics skills rather than her competence altogether. What I think she provides for Bill is more than just sex, she also provides a non-judgemental adoration which makes a great comfort. Her big heart includes Barb and the kids, and even though Barb does have an extra kid at times with her, her support of Margie in front of Lois was telling. "She may be a ditz, but she's our ditz!"
