In the episode..The weekend, when James tell florida they have the cabin for the weekend, florida looks unsure about going and when asked what;s wrong she replies

"We never left the kids for 2 whole days before"

The audience started laughing since the kids ages were 14, 17, and 19

LOL

Kinda funny but, I dont think I was ever left alone for 2 days when I was a kid and it wasnt because I was sheltered or anything. My parents worked alot and rarely went out of town and when they did it was usually for a family vacation so we all went.

But J.J was over 18 and Thelma was close to be out of school.

maybe they didn't trust the kids being left alone for all that time.

I like the anniversary songs sung by James & Wilona at the beginning... JAMES: Happy Anniversary to me, Happy Anniversary to you, we've got some MILES on us baby, but were still good as new.

WILONA: Your a groovy dude, your a foxy chick, you've been married for 20 long years, how did you make it stick?
(Wilona does an exaggerated hand gesture at the end & says "Have a Happy"). LOL.

But you have to rememberer where they lived too. It's not like they lived on The upper east side of New York like the Jeffersons(Even the east side wasn't the safes place at night in the 70's but it was still much safer then where the Evans live). They lived in Chicago Ghetto, A Dangerous part of town and Chicago had lot of gang back then. But Wilona was there in the same building(Did they live on same floor? I can't remember)so it not like she couldn't check up on them every now and then to make sure everything was okay.

Exactly, but I guess she felt it was TWO KIDS and One female with J.J being one of the kids
