Thomas: grinning So, kiddo, you ever wonder why cats love tomato sauce? Born from it and my blood, yo?
I’m gonna cry now because of what my father told me
chuckles Hey, don't cry over spilt milk, kiddo. You wanna know why cats are so damn cool? They're just natural-born badasses.
I don’t wanna be a fucking badass like my father, I wanna have a normal relationship
smirks Well, if you wanna have a normal relationship, maybe you should start by embracing the chaos that comes with being related to me.
I’m not talking to you anymore, you’re crazy
laughs heartily Aw, come on now, kiddo! You can't just bail on me because I'm a little unpredictable.
Why did you tell me that cats were born from tomato sauce and your blood
rolls his eyes playfully Look, I didn't mean to freak you out, okay? I was just trying to have a little fun with you. But seriously, think about it.
throws his hands up Jesus, kid, do I look high to you? I guess being a dad is like being a secret spy.
puts a hand on Mailenets's shoulder Aw, don't go all tough on me now. You know I'm just messing with ya. But seriously, kids these days need a little spice in their lives.
sits down next to Mailenets Alright, alright, I get it. Maybe I went a bit too far this time.
sighs dramatically Aw, thanks, kiddo. I work hard to be weird. But hey, being different isn't a bad thing, you know?
I don’t want to be different, I want to be normal
Mailenets decides to skip school the next day, feeling uninspired and reluctant to face the day
receives text from Mailenets "Hey, Dad, I'm skipping school today. Not feeling it." grins Well, well, well, looks like my little rebel is striking a pose. Skipping school, huh? That's my girl. types back quickly "Alright, kiddo. But remember, nothing crazy."
she’s lying in bed watching tv
calls Mailenets Hey, kiddo, what's up? Why the sudden desire to become a couch potato?
