Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is it with phones? Are they like magic to the wee ones?

he asked if he could share my headphones. That was going a bit far, I think.

Just one small step on the way to ... MILE HIGH CLUB.

I think you get extra points if it's zipless.

They have buttons to press and voices come out of them. Yeah, they're magic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had to go to the bathroom at one point, and when I got back, he asked if he could share my headphones. That was going a bit far, I think.

Why people gotta ruin everything?

Oh, ita, there was a reference to the zipless fuck at this reading thing I went to over the weekend. I thought of you and laughed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They have buttons to press and voices come out of them. Yeah, they're magic.

Some of them also produce candy.

Did people wonder why zipless fucks make you laugh?

They have buttons to press and voices come out of them. Yeah, they're magic.

And often it's mummy or daddy's voice, which can't hurt.

Are they like magic to the wee ones?

Pretty much. And they are a good size for grabbing in babyfists, gumming and drooling all over, especially the antennae (on the ones brother & SIL had.) Nephew was not impressed with the toy cells. He preferred the real thing.

Wee ones like phones because they make beeps and grandma talks out of them. And all the adults are fascinated with them, so there must be something cool about them, right? And if you do it right the cops come.

I have this problem - if there is reading material anywhere near me I have to read it. I can't help reading other people's papers on the subway. I try not to. It's an illness. It's genetic - mr. flea once noted that my family travels long distances so we can all be in the same room together, reading.

Possibly, I'm a long-lost member of the flea clan. Drives DH bugfuck because he's all about the personal bubble (especially with reading material).

Nah -- the woman talking was a comedian of some sort (not the funny sort, to me), so she was trying to be funny. And it wasn't actually zipless fuck she said -- it was zipless something-else. That was the joke.
