To Those in the Know

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!

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!

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?

[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....

Time enough for that yet. Least he was willing to get covered in muck with you!

Haha, fair enough. I'll keep an eye on your fashion sense.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

So true! Not afraid of dirt, just wriggly things! At least he didn't want to hurt the wriggly things. I wouldn't have liked that!

I can pull off a suit made entirely of sequins...

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally. Sometimes kids just don't get it, but it's cool that James did, right off the bat. Not that I'd expect anything else from him, cos he's awesome.

True that. I don't actually think I've ever seen you wearing something you weren't pulling off.

[suave-thomas.livejournal.com]

He really is! Entirely awesome!

Oooh, thanks, Morning Glory! Though if read differently, that makes me sound like a exhibitionist. Which could also be true!

Ha! See your above comment about walking around the backyard in your boxers.

I just have fantastic boxers!

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

No doubts there!

They don't have The Incredible Hulk on them, however.

That's a Tammboy special, that one.

Indeed it is!
