Answer 4

I would normally say invite her inside to talk while your nephews are in another part of the house, but if you barely have a civil relationship, you can choose the front step if you want. Tell her that her sons are adults and have the perfect right to go wherever they wish, and that they are more than welcome in your home. You are not responsible for her irrational, crazy behavior, and should not be put off by yelling, screaming, demanding, or any other weirdness. I'm sorry your parents have not caught on to her controlling, manipulative ways. But no matter what, you *must* stand by your nephews. You may be their only hope for sanity and freedom. I also agree with Jack -- try not to get the police involved in this situation. That is way too inflammatory.

Answer 5

My first inclination is the letters stand for "water closet", a British term used for restroom or bathroom. Bear in mind that back in the era set in The Green Mile, America welcomed immigrants---many who still held dear their homeland accents and customs.
