Re: Day 32, during babies

[pats his head. it is a consoling motion but he's also still just squishing minuet's hair flat]

You can't help it if your kids are all delinquents. You didn't raise them. Just make sure no one's hurt when they get home.

[ HIS HAIR'S FLAT!!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!!!! ]

They're pretty damn tough . . .

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

[YES. stops squishing his hair. much better.]

I know. But it's impossible to not worry.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

[ fucks sake you've ruined his whole brand ]

I've been told not to coddle or stifle them, and I agree, so . . . I'm trying. I just suck at this.

[removes his hands from minuet's head, quiet for a second]

I don't know if it means much from me. But...I think you're doing fine. I won't say you're perfect or anything like that, but there's no perfect way to look after people. You simply need to try your best, and you're doing that. So keep up the good work.

[featherduster]

[ Oh ok.




Looks like he might start crying again at any second actually. ]

. . . Thanks.

...

[preemptively creates an umbrella to hold over both of them]

Just let it out if you're going to cry. It's better to do it in here than out there.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

Idiot . . .

[ WIPES AT HIS EYES ]

There's nothing wrong with crying.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

[pats his back]

There's nothing wrong with it. But it's embarrassing to cry in public when you're a grown adult.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

That's not true at all!!!!

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

Yes it is!!!

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

I'm starting to see how you get as pent up as you do . . .

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

I'm not pent up! I'm a grown adult. How do you think any of the kids would feel if I started crying around them? They'd worry. It's important to be dependable, especially for little ones.

[sighs]

Not that we have little ones around here...but I still have some back home. I don't want any of them to be anxious.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[ "I'm not pent up"

"I'm not pent up"

"I'm not pent up" ]

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

[closes the umbrella so he can smack him with it]

What's that look for?

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

OW-- DON'T HIT ME IN MY OWN HEAD!!

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

You deserved it. You can hit me back if you think you didn't.

[offers him the umbrella]

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

[ Takes it.


Doesn't hit him though B|;;; ]

Anyway . . . you don't gotta be dependable for me. I'm not Lily, or one of your kids. So in the future, if you need to let it out before you explode . . .

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

[...looks down at his feet]

It's a very kind offer. But I don't know if I'll take you up on it. Not because I don't trust you or anything, just...it's not like I know when someone is going to go missing. You can't predict it ahead of time.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

It doesn't just have to be this specific scenario. I meant it for anything.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

What else would I need it for?

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

[ god help us all ]

Any time bad things pile up and you get overwhelmed?

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

[????????????????]

If I got overwhelmed by bad things piling up I'd be overwhelmed all the time.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

[ ]

Lethe.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

What? Between the two of us, you're the one that looks stressed right now.
