In class were were drawing pictures of our family. I always gotta be careful when I do so I normally draw papa in his winter coat, scarf and old hat. I wanted to draw us at a hockey game, so papa being bundle up made sense. He don't handle cold well so he needs to be nice and toasty or he might get sick. I guess that why he sits close to dad. dad's always very warm. Someone asked me who he was and I said "that's my papa!" then they asked about the other guy, asked if it was an uncle. But nah it was my Dad I told them, said it was why they were holding hands. Which is gross. But they looked confused and asked how do I got a Dad and a Papa. I guess they got a mom and dad instead. A lot of them had a mom and dad. some only had maybe one parent. But still no one else seemed to have two dad's or two mom's even. One kid at the table then said I can't have two Dad's, which is mean cause I do have two Dad's. The best Dad's he's just jealous I bet. So I told his dumb pig face that I do and threw my drawing in his face. So he asked if I got two dad's then where did I come from. Cause mom's hold babies till they walk so who held me? I wanted to hit their dumb face. But I guess he had a good point? I don't got any moms after all? I got a grandpa, a grandma, three aunts. And three uncles. Uncle Mikey counts as both. But no I aint got any moms? Autine Von's sort like a mom but I don't think she held me? So that don't work either?

I figured I just ask about it later, over the weekend then I could tell stupid Erik I don't haveta have a mom.

So, first thing in the morning. sorta first thing at least, at least once I was awake. Papa was in the bathroom so I went to find my Dad in the kitchen he was trying to make breakfast. So I pulled a chair over and stood up on it so I could finally get my answers. And asked Dad where I came from. He seemed confused when I did so I asked where do babies come from? In case that helped. He asked why I wanted to know though. So I told him what happened at school, I guess my family a bit weird. Not cause papa is a turtle maybe should be, but cause I got two dads. Most kids in my class are like Ariel. She got a mom and a dad. Even if they are mutants too. So I was just wondering where do kids with two dad's come from? Cause everyone said I can't have two dad's because Dad don't hold the babies. But I aint got a mom I got Dad and Papa. So I asked where babies come from again. Cause I need to tell them dumb kid at school he's wrong.

Dad seemed to get weird after I asked though. He looked around and rubs his neck so I asked again. I added that since Papa is a turtle boy and Dad is well Dad, then where did I come from? Cause Dad's are boys I guess so then where did I come from? Dad seemed to finally understand.

Papa always says Dad needs extra time though, cause his thoughts take a while to happen. I guess this is what he means by that it was taking forever for Dad to just tell me my answer. No wonder papa sighs so much hes not a very patient turtle. But I can be patient so it's okay. I still wanted my answer the first time I asked though.

Dad said I came from an egg. I didn't know I came from an egg so I had to make sure Dad wasn't joking I was being serious after all. How can I come an egg birds lay eggs after all, but Dad said turtles can lay eggs too. Then he told me Papa laid an egg and that egg was me so that where I came from. I guess that made sense since Papa is a turtle? And turtles lay eggs that why I could have two dads, cause Papa was able to hold me in an egg! Papa came in after and asked what were doing, I was to busy thinking about what I was told so I didn't pay attention to them as they talked. Cause if I came from an egg papa laid and Dad was messing up making eggs? So I pointed to the eggs and ask if Papa laid any of them. Papa now look confused. So I told him like when he laid my egg. Dad sort laughed and Papa made his annoyed face at him and asked what I meant. So I told him if he laid my egg then dose that mean he laid the ones on the counter too? Cause I don't think I want to eat my brothers and sisters. If those were more of my papas eggs.

Dad just laughed hard after that, he couldn't breath and Papa turned red and charged after him. Dad started to run but I don't think he was really trying cause Papa just wound up chasing him around the apartment yelling about how Dad told me he laid eggs. Guess papa's embarrassed about laying eggs?

Now I don't wanna eat eggs again.

We went to the lair after wards but Ari wasn't around she was off swimming so I went to bug uncle Donnie. Cause Auntie Mikey is right bugging Uncle Donnie is fun. But, also I think he better explain things to me cause he's smart. So I told him about Papa laying an egg cause that's what Dad told me. He looked confused too so I said I came from one of papa's eggs but papa got upset when he found out I knew now. He laughed a little too. Auntie Mikey came in askign about laying eggs with Uncle Leo. So I told them about how Dad told me I came from one of Papa's eggs. I was pretty happy to say it too. They also laughed about it. Only worse when Papa came in to see where I ran off to. So Uncle Donnie told him what I was sharing with them all. Papa looked even more annoyed, but he's different around Uncle Donnie when upset. So he told them that's what Casey's, my Dad, been saying. Mikey and Leo ended up adding on to fact Papa lays eggs and such. But it sounded like jokes that were making Papa get all 'rrrr' over he even hit Uncle Mikey when they said something about needing to be careful in case hes carrying any more getting worked up would be bad for the eggs. Did that mean I was gonna get a brother or sister? So I turned to uncle Donnie confused and once again I asked did I come from an egg? I like how nice Uncle smiles sometimes, cause he smiled and said yes. Papa didn't seem to like that answer but Uncle Donnie seemed to find it funny?

I don't get it?

When we went back home I was quite cause I don't get why Papa keeps being upset. I think it's nice he laid my egg. So I dunno why papa's getting upset?

Dad noticed I was upset cause I was hiding in my room, I didn't wanna make Papa made again. So he asked what was wrong I told him he's not allowed to tell papa. Told that papa keeps getting upset when I tell people he laid my egg.

But Dad lied and did tell papa! meanie.

I guess it's okay though. Papa and Dad took me on the roof later so we could talk about it. Papa asked why I was upset so I told him, I didn't get why he was upset about laying my egg and everyone knowing he laid my egg. Didn't he want me after all? Papa got quite a moment and told me course he did, they both did very much. That they love me very much and were so happy to have me. I got upset and cried and said then why did he keep getting mad, if he didn't wanna lay my egg. Papa held me close and told me that's not true, he loves me. Loves that I hate cheese but like Cheeseburgers. I was still crying though and told papa he should lay a better egg then. Papa told me no, that aint happening. Cause I'm with him and Dad now. Said we got a special connection.

Papa made me look at him and Dad. Dad told me he just told me the egg thing cause he wasn't sure how to answer my question. So they told me that they were missing something thier our lives but didn't know what that was. Turns out it was me. I was what was missing and Papa said and now i'm here and i'm stuck with them. They gonna go to every hockey game I play in. Gonna be on my ass about grades. They gonna buy my first hockey gear. That they will sit front row and gonna embarrass me when I graduate high school. And that they gonna do it again for college. They said I don't gotta go but they think I could. That they gonna be there for me for it all. And someday they gonna give me away at my wedding, i made a face at that cause ew. But Dad said even if he thinks the person I marry a pissant and not good enough for his little girl. Papa told Dad that was way in the deep far future though. I smiled a little and asked if thats why papa laid my egg then.

Papa finally agreed and said "yeah, 'hat's why I laid ya egg." Dad looked pretty happy. Guess he was embarrassed.

on monday dumb Erik brought it up again and I told him when two Dad's really want a baby one of them lays an egg. That shut him up.
