Re: Day 32, during babies

[ 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.

[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.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

Yes, for some reason that seems to happen when you're around.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

...I sincerely apologize for stressing you out. You have enough on your plate already.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

[ oh my god ]

Don't apologize all sincerely.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[mykidisthebest]

No one said we were done being sincere yet! I can stop any time you want.

Re: Day 32, during babies

[featherduster]

[ gawd ]

No, no, just-- you don't have to apologize for anything. I'm just giving you shit.
