Filtered to Friends and Family Who Aren't Clint or Klaus
It isn't that I'm not grateful for how much Clint cares and all, and I do love him a lot. And Klaus, too, he's been a really great step-dad type.

But I really, really hate how many major moments my actual Dad and Mom are missing out on. And like...it's been years now. I have to face up to the fact that they're just not coming. Or Cooper or Nate, for that matter. They missed prom, they're missing graduation, they won't see me open a business or go to college, they haven't gotten to meet Ben and Molly and America and Kamala and all of you and it just kind of sucks if I think about it for too long.

I'll probably regret writing all of this out in approximately ten minutes but I just keep thinking it and, well, yeah.

I know. I would never want to seem ungrateful though.

Ned, you couldn't seem ungrateful if you tried.

You're Peter's family and that makes you our family. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't get to have everyone else you love, too. I, for one, would love to meet them.

They would like you a lot, Dr. B.

I'm pretty sure I'd like them, too.

Even if your Lola would be ashamed of my tagalog.

I think she would just be impressed that you try, honestly

It was never my strongest language and I wasn't there long enough to pick up much. But I can say please and thank you and tell her "the meal is wonderful" so I feel like it's a start.

As long as you helped set the table or clean up afterwards she would have been thrilled.

She made one of the Peters use his powers to get a spiderweb down off her wall.

It never gets less weird when you say that, dude.

It's a funny story though.

You can say that when there's not two more of you running around!
