The front door goes straight to the kitchen?  What kind of house is this?

I dunno, may have to adjust this a bit. She (or someone like her) does
get Ranma with that water all the time....

A voice filled with exasperation called from inside. "Grandma?  Are you
going outside to wash the sidewalk again?" 

"Now listen here, dear.  I've been washing my sidewalk for seventy-eight
years, and I'm not going to stop just because I've taken a week vacation
from Nerima!  Kids these days..." 

	"Tell me," Kaede continued, "does Ryoga harbor a lot of negative
emotions? Hate, anger, that sort of thing?"

Why should this matter, if it's a family curse?

The theory is that the negativity serves as an anchor for the curse. One
reason why anything bad that happens seems to avoid Kasumi. :)

Okay, but are his parents also angst ridden?  Is his whole family (except
for the dog) the same?  After all, it *is* a family curse, not just
something specific to Ryouga alone.

The sardines weren't worth the trouble.  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
