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!)
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

[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.

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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess no tsunami watch for SoCal then. That was fun, that one time.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Didn't feel a thing in Oakland. Hrumph. I feel like I missed out.
