He would.
Sam would try to turn the tables and make me feel guilty for being mad at him, he just would. Stupid pathological liar who I happen to love. I was planning on ignoring him until he left, now I want to play nice for a while. We can deal with everything when he gets home, can't we? Next week I'll have more time with him to be pissy about it

Just a little.
"Da da! Da da da da..."
I laughed as she waved the stuffed animal around. It was an elephant, Arianna had bought it for her a while ago. Which had led to a lot of talking about Mr. Stone the pink elephant who basically, in Arianna's opinion, owned everyone. And she didn't get over that until she was nine.
I think she still has the thing. I wonder if I can show it to Dan and get away with it.
"Like that one, huh?"
"Hey."And that was without a growl and everything... I looked over my shoulder. "Hey." And got smacked in the chest with the elephant. "... Thanks Jules ( ... )

I think we're getting somewhere. I'm not going to laugh at that, because I think we're getting somewhere. He didn't pull a manbitch attitude on me, and I didn't growl at him. For us, that's progress. In order to keep the progress moving forward, I'm not going to mention last night. If I mention it, he'll just remind me that he apologized, and I'll remind him that he's a good for nothing liar. Then there won't be progress anymore, Julia will see us upset, and considering how good she is at being dramatic, she would probably burst into tears.
We're going to avoid making her do that for as long as possible. I like my daughter happy, thank you very much.
"You giving her lessons or something?"
In spite of the ...disagreement, I'm relatively sure that I can answer that without getting him angry at me. The jokes about Julia growing up like her mother seem to be fair game regardless of the situation. She is a little like me, just not as spoiled, and with a kickass dad ( ... )

"Right. We can't have that." That would be crazy. Just like getting hit repeatedly with the elephant is. "Okay, that's enough." I took it away from her as gently as I could.
And as soon as I got the big eyes and I knew she was going to start crying, I gave it back. How weak can you get?
I looked over at Carly and rolled my eyes. "Stop laughing at me." I mumbled.
"It was fine."
"Great."
"What time do you have to go?"
I looked over at the clock. "An hour." I'd put my stuff in the closet, just so she wouldn't see it when she came in. I don't know, I thought it'd make her less pissed or something. Might be pointless, whatever.

Alright, I have an idea. It involves me making Julia stop hitting him, which personally, I think is funny. I doubt I'd be making much of an effort at anything if he wasn't about to go away, but he is, so I am. Things are playing out a little bit differently this time. Neither one of us wants to be angry while apart.
Or, I don't anyway. Who knows what he's thinking.
"Julia!" I let myself smile at the sight of my boyfriend getting wacked with an elephant, and walked over to stand next to him. Reaching over, I took the elephant from Julia. "I'll give it back!" I reassured her, brushing the elephant gently against Sam. "Like that, sweetie. You'll make Elephant sad. Be gentle." I pretended to make the elephant give Sam a kiss on the cheek before I handed it back to her.
"An hour."
"Okay. Just checking."
I can be nice for an hour. I've refrained from calling him names for long periods of time than that in the past.
"What is it with your family and elephants?"
Weird obsession.
