#i keep laughing at the phrase little gingerbread men for my little gingerbread men lover

[sunnytastic]

thinking about mac coming out to his mom, and she doesn't even bother to look away from the tv while she grunts in acknowledgment. but mrs. kelly hears, and while she isn't anywhere close to a good mother, she is kind. so she makes mac a plate of cookies to take home with him, drawing a heart on the plastic film and saying "little gingerbread men for my little gingerbread men lover" and mac can see where charlie gets kindness from, even if life has tried to beat it out of him
