I'm not yet used to American holidays, but it's sort of nice when you realize that you're coming up to a three-day weekend and hadn't even been expecting it. Surprise.

PRIM EVERDEEN

I've a food-related question for you.

Are you planning anything during it, Teddy?

Honestly, not really. I guess I'll play it by ear.

Well, I was thinking of having a picnic. I think that's what people do here.

I think that sounds like a great idea.

Do you think some of the others would be too?

I can almost guarantee it.

We all need to celebrate, clearly.

Clearly! Seems like the right thing to do.

I'll start working on the fireworks then.

I figure eventually we'll get used to the sheer number of holidays this country has.

TEDDY
You came to the right girl, then.

It's just made even more complicated when I want to continue celebrating the holidays from my home country, too.

PRIM
There's a relief. They have very patriotic themed waffles on special at JJ's. We should probably eat some. And pretend that was a question, since that really wasn't one.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]primroses

What sorts of holidays are you used to that they don't have here?

TEDDY
How's this-

Teddy: Prim, would you like to eat very patriotic-themed waffles on special at JJ's, preferably at the same time and table as me?

Me: Why, yes, Teddy. I think I would love to eat very patriotic-themed waffles on special at JJ's, preferably at the same time and table as you.

Well, there's Pancake Day, which is technically tied to something religious and isn't really a holiday, but mostly it's just an excuse to eat pancakes. Mothering Sunday is just like Mother's Day here, but it's earlier on in the year. St. George's Day is about a bloke that the Muggle say defeated a dragon, though they don't actually realize that dragons are real. There are usually parades for it. Bonfire Night is a few days after Halloween. There's Boxing Day too, but it's changed over the years and is mostly for post-Christmas sales.

POSY
Brilliant. I think I'll have you speak for me more often.

If you tell me the dates, I will make every effort to help you celebrate all of them, but mostly pancake day.

TEDDY
I think you'd end up getting a bit winded!

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]tedward
2017-06-01 01:07 am UTC (link)
Every day should be pancake day, really.

POSY
I think you might too, if you repeat me like that.

I have a second question, this time actually phrased as a question. Do you and yours have plans for the holiday? My mum mentioned going to that cookout.

[info]primroses

Stick with me and it could be!

TEDDY
You know, I just like making sure we're on the same page.

Not that I'm aware of yet. My people don't really celebrate this holiday, either. Our holidays were a lot fewer and further between.

[info]tedward

I'll add that to the list of incentives.

PRIM
It does make everything very clear.

That's fair. It sounds like there is a lot of food involved for this one, which seems to be an ongoing theme.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]primroses
2017-06-01 01:18 am UTC (link)
Are there many?

TEDDY
I'm very glad I can be of help.

I've found that generally all of their holiday revolves around food in some way, shape, or form. But who are we to complain?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]tedward

It's pretty lengthy at this point.

PRIM
Exactly. I can't really frown at it, especially since the food tends to vary. And, really, it's not as though my holidays from home didn't focus on food either, because many certainly did.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]primroses

I have a pretty lengthy list for you, too.

TEDDY
It still blows my mind that entire other countries exist. That they have different cultures is amazing to me, too. Though I suppose each of the districts had somewhat different cultures, too.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]tedward
2017-06-01 01:34 am UTC (link)
That's good to know.

PRIM
It's definitely something. I wish I'd have taken the opportunity to see more of the world, honestly. Instead I just went right into working after school.

It's come up, but I'll admit that I like hearing it.

[...] It was worse than I was willing to admit to myself when you left. I don't say that to make this conversation sad, I just want you to know that you've become as important to me as any of the people I have here from home.

I still don't like knowing that I left at all and I'm glad that I was brought back, both for you and my parents. And honestly, I could say the same for you.

You won't find me complaining, that's for sure, especially since it looks like Lily wants to do a picnic.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]nympha
2017-06-01 12:49 am UTC (link)
I would be up for a picnic. I've also volunteered your dad to go to Steve's cookout with me, too. You should go, and bring Prim with you.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]tedward
2017-06-01 12:59 am UTC (link)
I think I can do that and I'll see if Prim is interested, too. You can't really have too many cookouts.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]nympha
2017-06-01 01:10 am UTC (link)
Now that I've really experienced the joys of cookouts, I couldn't agree more. Is there anything else you'd like to do?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]tedward
2017-06-01 01:14 am UTC (link)
Take a proper nap for once? I don't think that's quite what you're asking, though.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]nympha
2017-06-01 01:19 am UTC (link)
I suppose I can leave you be long enough to accomplish that.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're too good to me.

I'm spoiled.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]nympha

And so very loved.

Aww, Mum.
