Squirrels are funny. So are subway rides, sometimes.
Everything is All! New! I love this.
When does mac start school, msbelle?
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I wish I could be there...not to get in the way of your bonding...just to watch your face and his as you keep discovering things.
This, very much.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
squirrel can be exceedingly hard to pronounce
Harder than pronouncing écureuil ?
Aerospatiale had a helicopter model by that name. I knew it meant "squirrel," but never figured out how to pronounce it. I think it was a common problem -- they later re-named it the "A-Star" for the North American market.

I have a Amharic speaker at work if you end up in a pinch msbelle...
That would be sort of funny. "Let me go grab this partner and have her talk to a kindergartener and find out what he's saying".
(She totally would though)

Harder than pronouncing écureuil ?
Good point. Although the "reuil" in écureuil is much easier than the "rueil" in Rueil-Malmaison, so it could be worse. Much worse.

What is even happening?
I didn't even know about the Amharic language until Nilly mentioned it, over the past couple of days.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
msbelle, I've been talking about you and Mac to meatspace friends, and they're choking up almost as much as I do.
Me, too! Of course, 3 of my co-workers have adopted internationally (2 of those co-workers have adopted 2 kids each), and so they're extra-interested in msbelle and Mac.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Between msbelle and the Flanvention that almost wasn't, the 'net is choking me up more than usual, and I've been passing those emotions along to meatspace friends quite successfully.
