	Uh, okay. Is this you telling me to wear a tie? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-12 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Well I'd hope you'd wear one anyways. It is Shabbos. They're bringing Eden though! :] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-12 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well... Okay. I mean, I could just wear a nice polo or something, but I guess tie it is! ~~Okay...~~ Are you sure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-12 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	No Yes. I talked to her parents and they said they'd all be coming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, well I guess it will be cool to have a friend over. ~~Emphasis on friend~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-12 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	~~You already consider her a friend?? TOUCHDOWN.~~ You can invite more ~~ladies~~ friends if you want. ~~As long as they're not in that band.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Like Jack? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will he be respectful of it being the Sabbath and comb his hair ~~that rats nest on his head~~/look presentable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-12 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Sure. Of course. I'll keep an eye on him. We'll be good! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-12 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	~~I want to hear it from him.~~ If he pulls any funny business, you'll be grounded. Put him on a tight leash or he's not welcome. ~~That little trouble maker better not mess this up for you.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-13 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Well. Okay... That's kinda harsh. What's considered funny business anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Be glad I'm letting that goy in my house.~~ If you're not allowed to do it or say it, he's not allowed to do it or say it. Including respecting the Sabbath while he's under my roof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know if this is worth a possible grounding. I guess I'll do what I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe Jack's not the best person to hang out with then. ~~Please don't got all angsty-emotionally-charged-teenager on me.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-13 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Well, he has been my best friend since we moved here. It's pretty dumb to just drop him ~~because you tell me to and you hate him~~ because he has a few faults. Come on, who doesn't? He is a very good friend to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-13 01:19 am UTC (link)
	I know, I know. There's just something I don't like about him, Toby. I love you and I want you to be happy but ~~he's rotten to the core~~ I wish you'd hang out with someone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-13 01:23 am UTC (link)
	I don't really like anyone else. My friends aren't perfect, but they're my friends. They have been for a while. It isn't really fair to ask me to make new ones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-13 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Oh stop being so over dramatic. You get along with just about everyone so surely you'll like other people. Think of it as an exercise for when you go off to ~~Yeshiva University~~ college. You're going to be in a completely new place with all new friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-13 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Getting along with people and being friends are two very different things. Two years away. I can go away sooner though if you want. Maybe learn how to control my powers at Wyrd Haven. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-13 01:39 am UTC (link)
	You're not going to Wyrd Haven. I can take you there to learn how to control them if you want, but you're not going there for school. ...how are you doing with it, by the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-13 01:45 am UTC (link)
	I don't see why not. I don't know anyone but the St. Peters who have powers, anymore. I don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff. I feel like I'm keeping secrets from everyone I know. It's like lying. I found grass under my pillow, and an oak sapling In my laundry basket this morning. ~~So, you tell me.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-13 02:02 am UTC (link)
	You can talk to me about it, you know. You don't have to keep it a secret. Tell who ever you want. Your friends will always be your friends ~~much to my dismay~~ and if they can't handle it, then you're better off without them in the end. I'm sorry. You can sell it, if you'd like.

I guess.

Well, I have told my friends, but they don't get it. It's not the same. I can't just broadcast it though. Some of the anti-mutant groups are hardcore. So, I still am lying to most people.

I didn't say I disn't like it. I just want to be able to control it and understand it. Plus wouldn't that be like throwing you and dad's work down the drain? Not to mention everyone else who worked on this stuff. Or got experimented on. I think that would be disrespectful of me.

I know, it's not cool to talk to your mother about stuff like this. But you're not the only one with it.

I understand. I'd be the same way if I was your age. Maybe I can take you by WHA soon. You're not going to school there but it would be good for you to meet other kids who are from the Island.

I'll call some people and see if I can't figure something out to help you with it.

You're not throwing our work down the drain and you're not being disrespectful. You didn't choose to have this - you were forced into it. I would love to see you learn how to use and control this, but it's your choice to keep it.

	Well, to be fair. I just told you about the plants in my room. I don't understand why not. It's not like I get along really greeat with anyone from school. All my friends are from soccer or in the band. But I guess taking powers classes is better than nothing. I guess not. I just don't want to be ungrateful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

True. But I'm talking about just in general. I'll go bring those outside, by the way. ~~Unless you figured out how to make them disappear?~~

First you complain that you want to keep all of your friends, and now you're complaining that you want new ones...?

It's more about getting a religious education and a normal education all in one, than just a secular education.

You're not being ungrateful. It's actually quite an adult-like decision. Stop growing up and making me feel old.

	No big, already done. You haven't noticed the garden has expanded? I wnat to have people around who understand what I'm going through. And I dislike attending a school where I have no friends. It's awkward. What else do I need to know about religion? Sorry, I didn't get that power. I hear it's a real thing though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I assumed the miracle grow was working.

You have plenty of friends at the yeshiva!

There is no end to what you can learn about Judaism. I've said it at least a million times and I'll say it fifty million more: there are 70 facets to Torah.

Yes, it actually is. There's at least one woman who can change her appearance to different ages. I'm sure it comes in handy when she wants the senior discounts at the grocery store but other than that, it seems relatively useless in my opinion. Though actually, it seems better than being able to see the future.

	You assumed wrong. I am a living, breathing plant making machine. Really? Are you kidding? Mom. Name one person from the yeshiva that I'm friends with. One. Just one. I'd rather be using that time to study languages. Well are any of our powers really useful in every facet of life? We're all sort of unifunctional tools. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Can you kill plants too? Or does it not work in reverse?

I'm sure Yosef and Amichai and Yakov all love you and want to be your friends! I grew up with their parents and they're lovely people.

Good. Study Hebrew then and how it changes and is used in Torah. Have numerical fun with the letters and combinations too. You'll find some really interesting stuff hidden in there - I promise!

Some are. I could think of about 20 different things your power could be useful in, aside from just growing plants for the fun of it.

I haven't really tried.

Sure, they're nice. We have nothing in common.

Not saying that I don't love studying Hebrew, mom. I do. But. If I am ever going to be a translator, I need to know way more languages. I want to learn Spanish, and French, and Arabic and Russian and Mandarin... Anything, and everything.

Maybe. I wouldn't know. I don't really know much about them.

	nursesilverman 2012-06-14 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	You have plenty in common. Talk to them more and you'll see. ...you want to be a translator? Why? Experiment then. Get creative. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-14 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Mom. It's been how many years? I think I'd know if I had anything in common with anyone. To travel. Learn other cultures, eat weird food. Advocate mutant rights. Work for the UN. Maybe. Sign me up for powers lessons (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-15 02:00 am UTC (link)
	Sometimes, the people who make the best friends are the ones we have nothing in common with. ~~That seems like an unattainable goal being a mutant and Jewish.~~ I'll let you know when they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-15 04:12 am UTC (link)
	If i was going to make friends with them, wouldn't I have already? ~~I can't believe you have nothing to say to that.~~ I can't believe you didn't know about my dam job already. Thought I told you. That would be good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-15 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	Not necessarily. ...I don't remember you telling me, so I'm going to go with a no. ~~Unless I was in the middle of getting the house and everybody ready for Shabbos.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iamthelegacy 2012-06-15 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Yes necessarily. I only have 2 more years there. I don't think now is the time to try and break into a group I'm not part of. Guess not. Well, now you know. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Of course you are! ...I hope she's not. But it's a possibility. Maybe she's a lovely singer and we don't know it? Brownie points ~~for our future daughter in law~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ariella, you know I love you, but pushing a girl on our son is not the way to go about this. Just because an arranged marriage worked for us does not necessarily mean it will work for Tobias. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-12 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not pushing her on him! And I'm not arranging anything either! A little bit of suggestive, light prodding never hurt anyone. ~~Plus, there are about 50 other girls from amazing families that I could try to set him up with if I really wanted to.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-13 12:06 am UTC (link)
	And I bargained with him, okay? He's allowed to bring over that boy that he hangs around with all the time, Jack. And you KNOW how much I dislike him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aren't you lucky for marrying one? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	gowiththeflo 2012-06-13 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Okay, that was harsh. But honestly, Ari? Letting Jack come isn't going to magically make Toby have feelings for Eden. If anything, it will lessen those odds. And it doesn't count if you threaten the boy. And I have a feeling you did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nursesilverman 2012-06-13 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	Well I can't exactly tell Toby not to bring Jack now. Got any suggestions? I did no such thing! I laid down some ground rules, but made absolutely no threats. (Reply to this) (Parent)
