One good thing about living in the South is that I can just go buy a jar of cinnamon apples from Cracker Barrel and bake that into a premade pie crust.

The cats are getting antsy about dinner. Which would only be annoying, but Spare Cat starts nipping if I don't start working on it.

What's improper about a Marie Callendar's pie?

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

The pastry falls apart too much, and there's an over-fermented taste to the filling. Trader Joes has pie with more...continuity, and the apple tastes fresher and less sweet.

I'm trying to convince my mother to let me and my sister have children by the same guy. She thinks she wouldn't be able to hold her head up in society, but I think it would be great! It would be that thing the [itaslastname] kids did.

Note that my brothers did that, sort of. But since they are identical twins, genetically speaking their two separate batches of kids by different wives are in a sense half-siblings, instead of having to get all fancy with insemination and whatnot.

Our wings are not tired.

My grandfather's sister Clara had a husband and children. That husband (Vic) then seduced my grandpa's baby sister (she was in late teens I think?) and ran off and married her. And then they had kids. Vic wasn't popular in my family, no sirree.

I just figure that way we have to find just one guy, you know?

Java, I think Vic was very popular in your family, just you know, not with everyone at the same time.

I don't think we've had any sisters sharing--which is why I want to carve a niche, you know? Get out ahead of the crowd. We've had cousins sharing, guys trying to hit it with sisters, and at least one mother/daughter seduction. I mean, not that they seduced each other--just that one stole the other's man. I can't remember which way round it was.
