For Flingslass, harmless YitL crackbit

title: The Beauty of Grandchildren
raging: ridiculous, harmless, but ridiculous
series/sequel: YitL
prompt: giraffe
wordcount: 277

Mary O'Neill choked on her coffee at the head that appeared in the kitchen window. Big long lashed brown eyes blinked at her mournfully.

"I'm hallucinating," Janet said from behind her. "Please tell me I'm hallucinating."

"I'm not senile yet, dear, and I see it as well," Mary answered. The giraffe's big brown eyes blinked again and tilted its head at her.

"It's not Daniel, is it?" Sam said warily joining Mary and Janet at the window.

"Daniel just gets killed, it's Xander who gets cursed," Janet turned and gave Sam a disbelieving look.

"Xander only gets mind control whammied, even the Black Lagoon Creature was a near-miss," Sam countered.

Mary set her coffee down and opened the window. "You're not one of my grandchildren are you?"

The giraffe made a bleating noise and shook its head.

"Thank God," Sam sighed.

"Not necessarily good, it answered," Janet pointed out.

"Did one of my grandchildren turn you into a giraffe?"

The giraffe bleated and nodded.

"There is at least one very very grounded butt," Janet said tightly. Giraffes. Who knew that 'do not turn people into wild animals' needed to be a conversation necessary to have with your kids.

"George is taking me to a matinee and then an early dinner. He should be here any moment. I'll leave you two to sorting out this poor dear."

Sam looked at Mary. "You can just walk away?"

"That's the beauty of grandchildren."

The giraffe turned big sorrowful eyes on Janet and Sam through the window.

"Don't worry, just think how much you'll get to laugh, and give the little devils ideas when this lot are grown and have their own."

	So just read all these little shorts. I must say I Love Them, also i can't seem to find a fandom that you write in that I don't love what you write even if I have to go back and find the fandom and figure out what is going on in canon. You are just awesome and I hope you continue to find writing soothing so that we, all your fans, can read the by products. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The year in the life verse is hands down my favorite of all that you write. It's what got me into the Stargate fandom in the first place. I really hope that you do more of this verse soon! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Woo Hoo!!! Okay, now you have to tell me who the victim and the culprit are :D My money is on Major Davis for the victim but ancientcitadel says Mini-Jack as the culprit and Jack, the victim :D sistercity is agreeing with ancientcitadel. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Loving all the Halloween treats. :) I wonder, is Mary going to be annoyed when George is late, only to realize that the giraffe's appearance just then is rather... coincidental? :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'd say you can't leave it there, but you kind of can. I mean, we all want to know what happened, but it might be like explaining a joke; by the time you've explained why it's funny, it isn't anymore.

Of course, while you're revisiting old 'verses, if you'd like to go back to the DC reboot and explain what's going on with Kon and his lack of communication, I wouldn't complain. :)

And also Daniel and Xander in Pieces 'verse have been hanging over the "Moebius" cliff for a while now. It wouldn't even have to be a fic; just a word or two about where it had been headed. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
