Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Burrell! Right before I have to run out, I *finally* get to post with you to congratulate you on the birth of your son! At least I managed to do it before he went to school.

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

My mother is grumbling now, and she doesn't know why. She'd be delighted if I ever talked about a guy within five years of my age. She's relieved if I talk about a guy who's legal to drink in the US.

thanks, Nilly. it's lovely to see you after so long.

Isaac is such a great baby. right now he's awake, fed, and quiet. the perfect moment for a new mom.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you! My mother is. I didn't sleep with a teenager until I was 30. I got nothing against the younger man. Except my body.

But when you're 36, guys ten years junior also seem to be stunningly previously attached. Less so when I was 30.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news! The spots on my shirt were apparently water-based! I know you've all been holding your collective breath waiting to find out.
