I'm at my sister's house and covered in kids. I like how my weekends oscillate between thoroughly domesticated and smelling like a homeless person

I hope you've told her that she's left it a bit late to be raising a child army for us.

The two oldest are nine and seven. Why they haven't signed up for the war effort, I don't know! Even the three year old is as clever as... something clever (cleverer than me, anyway)! He'd be a great... accountant?

[doeish]

Lawyer?

[fabium]

He burst into tears over a SPOON FIGHT. I'd hate to see when they inevitably escalate to knife fights and dueling!

[lupined]

Maisy the Misunderstood Manticore is an under-appreciated classic.

[fabium]

I hear there are more to come in the series, to educate kids about dangerous creatures except they're all SYMPATHETIC characters. Mixed signals much?

[anticlaw]

Children are much more honest about their greed than adults are, Fabian -- bribery is the only way to get secure order.

[fabium]

Who says I want order? Spoon fights are HILARIOUS.

[anticlaw]

Soup spoons or regular spoons? Is there even a difference?

[fabium]

Cooking spoons. Big difference!

At least you're invited over! After the incident with the beer and Percy's shoes, I've only seen them on neutral territory!

[fabium]

The booze is a Prewett way of life, AND HE IS HALF PREWETT, DAMMIT.

[noedig]

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. And who knew they were his only dress shoes?? I mean. I could've guessed but. I should still be allowed in the house! She'll wear down soon though. Because you'll put in a good word for me..yeah?

[fabium]

Yeah, exiling one of her only brothers might be going overboard for a pair of SHOES. Kid's shoes, even, that he's going to outgrow in three days anyway. Arthur's on your side, too! She's just being MOLLY.

ALSO: WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR MY BIRTHDAY? TWO WEEKS, GUY.

You should bring them over!! I'm not all that good with children, but I wouldn't want you to be bored all by your lonesome - oh, they could play with the shampoo bottles or whatever it is they do!! Perfect fun for little children!

[fabium]

I'll talk to my sister next time I'm over! She likes to keep them all in the house where they can be easily trapped!

[espying]

I could probably throw one of the babies from the front door and out the kitchen window on the far wall, so it's not very big at all!!

[fabium]

Yeah, you could, but the cat likes it so much more! The twins would never shut up about being thrown into a wall.
