Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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

I will not put your son in a tub of cranberries. Nor your daughter. Or if I did, I would do all the cleanup. Which is how you know they're safe from me.

However, can I teach him to play Sex Pistols on the sax?

Sure. Can you do it? Can you start with the violin since we have one of those?

I can't believe I signed up my asthmatic, trach-having, g-tube having new walking daughter for soccer. I'm kinda a bad mom.

Because books.

I'm kinda a bad mom.

Totally not. She's little, and at that age they're going to do what they're going to do. It might be tons of fun for her. And the other kids are going to be too little to be a real contact danger (in terms of playing hard).

Oh, I don't think I have the time.

I was going to scar your children in service of a cracky scavenger hunt for which I don't have the entrance criterion. I just think it's funny to consider how I'd get each done. And then laugh as fans get hysterical over it.

Yeah. it's not soccer -- just amoeba ball.

The rhino pic would be easy -- Wild Animal Park!

I don't even think Noah would care about the cranberries. Plus tomorrow he'll be sedated for dental care. So, you know, there's your window.

But I'm not cleaning it up.

But we do have a ball pit.

I love the idea that I could borrow your sedated son to amuse Misha Collins. I'd love to horrify him and tell him I chloroformed him and stole a kid for the pic.

They're very elastic at this point. They should earn their keep by being amusing, but with a cap on the amount of mess they cause.

We had to discuss site redesign at work today, and as far as I could tell, it would result in a loss of functionality. I pouted until they included a "revert to classic" option, to be called "revert to ita."

Why change, people? Why? Not today! Not this month! You're not doing it right. And fuck I need to finish testing so I can roll shit out in three weeks.
