Heimerdinger's Song: Spin the Wheel

[baronessblixen]

I wish you would write a fic where mulder is concerned because william says mama but hasn’t said dada yet

This inspired me to write a little scene!

He knows he's bribing his son, but in his defense, he's desperate. William doesn't look at him and only at the small Snoopy spoon full of mashed potatoes. The peas that William was supposed to eat are still in the fridge. How will he get his son to finally say "dada" when he's feeding him the food he hates most in the world?

"Can you say it, Will?" Mulder brings the spoon to William's mouth. "Dada. Da-da."

Instead of parroting his father, William reaches for the spoon, no longer willing to wait. His lack of patience clearly an inherited trait. He stuffs the spoon and the mashed potatoes into his mouth, giving Mulder a gummy smile. Which he returns, shaking his head.

"One day you'll say it." He stares at Will, who has abandoned the spoon and is shoving the potatoes into his mouth, chewing loudly.

"Dada. Da-Da. Da-Da." Mulder knows how ridiculous he sounds. How crazy it is to feel left out when William calls Scully mama. "I love you, Will," he whispers, kissing his son's head before he wipes mash from the child's cheek.

It's not until two days later, when Mulder carries a freshly diapered William into the kitchen where Scully is preparing dinner, that his son does the unthinkable.

"Dada!"

"Did he just?" Scully says, grinning at Mulder, who's stunned himself.

"Can you say it again, Will?" But the boy doesn't. He kicks his legs, trying to get to Scully. Mulder hands him over and Will squeals in delight.

"Dadadadada." But the child is not referring to Mulder at all. He's trying to wriggle out of Scully's arms and throw himself into the mashed potatoes she's preparing.

"Oh no." The laughter bubbles up inside him. He's done it. He's taught his son how to say dad.

"Oh no, what?" Scully asks.

"I think," Mulder says, spooning up some mash to get William's attention.

"Dada!" Just like he's thought. He doesn't make William wait and feeds it to him.

"Mulder, is he-" Scully now asks, her eyebrows knit.

"Does he think mashed potatoes are called dada?" Mulder asks with a sheepish smile. "Yeah, he does."

But, Mulder decides as he explains it to Scully, eliciting one eye roll and several chuckles, at least he's heard his son say it now. Everything else will fall into place.

Crazy story of the day (I caught a bat)

Brief context: I live in the US by the Great Lakes and it is a bitterly cold, snowy January night. We have 5 young Bengal cats living in our house who have been on "mouse duty" every night, trying desperately to catch the mice living in our walls.

So my parents and I are sitting in our living room watching a movie when suddenly I see something flying through our living room arch. Screaming ensues as we are both alarmed and trying to identify this UFO. I thought it was a bird, my dad thought it was one of our cats, and my mom finally correctly identified it as a bat. It flies in and lands on top of a shelf with a pillow on it beside our couch.

It's been about 15 seconds at this point. My mom can't find the remote to pause the movie. I have covered my head with my hoodie hood so that the bat doesn't land in my hair ("why?" my brain helpfully inquires, "your hair is too short for it to get tangled in") We're still yelling. The cats are taking charge and Farid is in hot pursuit of the bat. I turn on a light as Farid lands on the shelf and scares the bat off the pillow.

The bat flies to the kitchen. The movie is still playing. The cats are chasing the bat. My primary objective is now "save bat to prevent carnage". I find the bat cornered by 4-5 cats beside the kitchen trash can. As I arrive on scene one of the cats, Maraly, chases the bat from the corner. Bat is now surrounded by cats. It lifts its wings to flee and Farid smacks it with his paw to keep it grounded. The cats are extremely proud to have caught the "flying mouse".

I have covered my hands with my sweater sleeves because I remember you are not supposed to touch bats. I do not remember why. I reach down into the mob of cats surrounding the bat and scoop it up. It climbs my arm and I am frozen for half a second as it registers there is a bat crawling on me. I cover the bat with my sweater-clad hand when it reaches my shoulder. It is trembling.

"I caught the bat." I announce calmly. My mom yells for my dad to open the door. The bat wiggles slightly under my hand but does not try to escape or bite me. It is very small and still trembling and has a tiny black nose.

My dad opens the door and I step outside, briefly concerned that if the bat is wounded my cat Sid may now try to catch it. I lift my hand and see the cutest little brown creature clinging to my sweater. The bat is wide eyed and alert and very fuzzy, it looks extremely soft.

It begins to climb my shoulder and I tell it "No, no don't climb in my hoodie!" It complies, cresting my shoulder and flying off, completely unharmed, into the night. I walk back inside. The cats are ecstatic. The movie is still playing. I am left with the realization that a bat owes me a life debt and the experience of having caught, with my hoodie-clad hands, a bat that got into my house.

-

(we think the bat snuck down from our attic, you aren't supposed to touch bats because they can carry rabies and YES it should have been hibernating. Idk man. I'm sure it found it's way back into the drafty attic and now has a wild story to tell all its bat friends- "I almost got eaten by cats, but a giant saved me!")

Okay, I finally watched Bluey and I knew it was going to be adorable, I just didn't know it was going to be that adorable! Like I should have watched it so much sooner!

i’m gonna cry it’s raining right now and i just passed by a family where both parents were without an umbrella but their kid who couldn’t have been older than like 3-4 was proudly holding this GIANT umbrella whose diameter was as tall (if not taller) as the kid. both the parents were getting absolutely drenched but u could tell the kid was just so happy to have an “adult” task and carry the umbrella themselves and i think that sacrifice is what love is all about
