No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Aimée! Set a good example!

What is even happening?

Aimée! Set a good example!
Yes, open it, to ensure her safety, and then re-wrap it, like any good mother would.

Aimee, what ita said (but I have to tell you that when I was getting stuff for my daughter from American Girl, Mom and I would always open every box, take the stuff out and squee over it - it was FUN!)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I vote for what Cindy said.

Do you think you'll be able to re-wrap, Aimee? Or will you want to keep it and play with it yourself?

Meanwhile, a wee (3.4) earthquake just had us wondering what the odd jobbers dropped.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimée! Set a good example!

Oh now should I start now???

Yes, open it, to ensure her safety, and then re-wrap it, like any good mother would.

Yes! I like this plan. Now, I have to convince Joe of it.

If I only had a brain...

Well, I'm basically sitting on top of the fault line in a big concrete box, so not surprising that we felt it. It was just one swift thump.

I guess no tsunami watch for SoCal then. That was fun, that one time.
