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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

am i the only person who went to an incredibly disturbing wound/violation place there?

You definitely are not.

The status is NOT quo.

Somewhat random yet related note: So my school has a fair number of famous people's daughters at it, and I can't disclose anything specific without violating my confidentiality clause, but I have to share this. Vaguely. There is an actor who stars in Numbers. His daughter's first name is, evidently, Tu. Unusual, but only really groan-inducing when you add that to her last name. Going to have to let you google that yourself, but really? Why do that to a kid?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ha! Don't need to google. I remember the announcement when she was born. She's in high school?!

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, I didn't have to google either. It truly is groan-inducing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Going to have to let you google that yourself, but really? Why do that to a kid?

So that one day she can track him down to an old saloon on a street of mud and shout "My name is Tu! How do you do!"

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Bwahahahahahaha. Poor girl. I know nicknames are usually shortenings, but surely she's worked something out...

I think it was a family tradition on his wife's side.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I wonder how many times someone has sung "only a day away" to her.

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

I wasn't really paying attention, but I guess I know whose kid it is now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Tradition of what? Cheesy-ass names that will give a child a complex?
