To Those in the Know

[suave_thomas]

James and I planted a vegetable garden! He thought worms were baby snakes, so I told him they couldn't hurt him. I taught him all about gardens and we planted and watered it together. It was really nice. And then I managed to wrangle a moment with Marie away from Charon. Of course, it did happen to be a moment when she needed a diaper change, but who am I to complain which moments I get?! I'll teach her to garden too, when she's old enough. If she wants to learn.

I never realised teaching your children something was so fulfilling. It's amazing.

Miss Aly came home this afternoon too, and Mara is over with Anna. So James and I are watching movies because gardening makes little boys tired. He's got Errol on his lap and they're so cute!

Okay, where did I put my macho? I know I left it somewhere...

Ah, who the fuck cares?! I'm a daddy!

I didn't know you ever had macho. When was this time!?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Hey, I can beat....some people...at arm wrestling!! Just not either of my brothers... Because they're bigger than me.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

That's no excuse, I can beat people bigger'n me at arm wrestling!

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

You could beat me at arm wrestling! Not that that's really a claim to fame, as such...

I love that you had such a wonderful time with our kids, Thomas. James told me all about the vegetable garden. It was so adorable! From what I can gather, he's never had that kind of experience with nature before. I'm so glad you were able to give it to him. And to spend some time with Marie too!

Aww, that's adorable. Baby snakes! Worms would be so much cooler if they were baby snakes. Man, I love reading stuff like this. Shows me how much I've got to look forward to.

See? You're not the only guy who can leave his macho in his other suit!

Ooooh, can I come over and see the garden?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Oi! Have you SEEN my brothers (I know the answer is yes) they could slaughter me!

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

That's why you cheat.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

The very thought fills me with fear!

He was so impressed by all of it. He got so dirty! We had to take a shower instead of a bath because the water got so gross Peter would have fainted!!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Well I'm glad it wasn't a snake, as I would rather not have one of those around my child. But yes, worms are slightly less interesting, I suppose... It's wonderful, Tamm. So wonderful!

Oh, I know it. Joe does it quite well too!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Of course you can! The flower garden just looks like dirt right now, but the vegetables are tiny plants!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I...don't cheat.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Thomas sometimes you are too good for your own good. You never even cheated against your brothers? That's what siblings are there for!

[in-spectre-mors.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm quite the terrifying individual!

Ha! Yes, I can quite imagine that. The ring around the tub would have been something like the ring around Saturn, I'll bet.

And I meant to say, that's excellent news about Aly. We must visit her soon!

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

True, true. I just like snakes, but they're much better in cages than in backyards. Or, y'know, the wild is a good place for 'em, too.

Ha, yeah. Must be something about this social circle. Maybe the girls steal all our macho?

[demon-svetlana.livejournal.com]

Cute little tiny plants, yay!

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

If you cheated, they gave you wedgies!

[hail-st-joseph.livejournal.com]

True story.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Are there photos?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

I did mean hurting you!

Ahahhaa gross! Half the garden came in with us. Abby made me leave my shoes outside!

We will! I'm so glad she's home.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Yes, the wild! Far, far away from my kids. James thought the worm was gross too. He's clearly not taking after his daddy there!

That could be it, though I rather think mine might be because I'm gradually being gayed up. I cried at a commercial the other day because it was so beautiful....

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Baby plants!

[hail-st-joseph.livejournal.com]

You want photos of Thomas' underwear stuck in his crack?

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

Oh, Joey. Thanks for that.

[slinkster-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Yes. Is that so wrong?
