"Oliver!"

[moocha-muses]

"Mom, do you remembered when we last cleaned our shower heads?"

"That sounds like a Pepper chore. Or maybe one for Jonah. I can't even reach the shower head, hon."

"But you're taller than Dad-"

[moocha-muses]

"If you need space, sweetie, you need space, but Apollo is awfully beautiful! I think fumbling them could haunt you forever."

[moocha-muses]

"-and we said we wouldn't do long-distance but I still think about him all the time!"

"I'm sure he thinks about you, too, Lissie."

"You have to say that, you're my grandma."

[moocha-muses]

"Oh, Baz, of course you're still allowed to have complicated feelings afterwards! Even if everyone did consent at the time. You know, polyamory isn't for everyone, even if Apollo thrives on it. I know it's sounds a little hypocritical coming from me, but you're young! You have plenty of time to explore."

"Tell him to use protection."

"Oh, and your grandfather wants to remind you to use protection. I'll put some condoms in your next care package. Yes, and the peanut butter cookies."

"Textbook money, huh? In the middle of the semester?"

"Tea! I think I just saw an owl!"

[moocha-muses]

"What about a nice dinosaur. Jonah, you like dinosaurs, don't you?"

"Yeah, bro, totally. I miss having my own toddler to buy 'em for."

"Ooof, I remember that feeling. When the last one gets ready to leave the nest. I found that little stuffed bunny Del used to love when we were packing and I cried over it for three days."

"I told you you'd ruin the stuffing, Tea."

[moocha-muses]

"Prepare for my victory, gentlemen."

"Hmmm."

[moocha-muses]

"So not a toy robot. Is that what you're saying?"

"I think Dacey's moms probably have that one covered. What about a stuffed cow?"

"Morning, grandma! Do - do you guys mind if I use the bathroom? Or is this conversation, like, too important?"

[moocha-muses]

“Come with me, my love/to the sea, the sea of love-”

[moocha-muses]

"I was a little nervous about telling you, Tea, but you said to think of you as family . . ."

". . ."

"She is! She's very excited about being a big sister; it's adorable. She'll probably call you tonight to tell you all about it. Mmm? Oh, no, you don't need to send a gift! We're not even having a shower."

“If you want to work at Charlie’s company, Baz, dear, then you should work there. I think they’re making real waves in the industry over there.”

“Oooh, grandma, are you talking to Baz? Can I talk to him after you?”

“- what are the requirements for that class, though? ‘Cuz I wanna get most of my core stuff done in freshman year if I can-”

[moocha-muses]

“You’ve still got those brawny arms, sweetheart. Let’s see what else you can lift.”

“Tea, you’re a worse menace than our grandkids.”

“Oh? You’ve still got a way with words, too.”
