That awkward moment when you wake up in a field with a toddler because your house hasn't been built yet. Never change, Vallo.

	NO. But they did change the recipe and it's kind of like they've been replaced by their fraternal twin?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're really not. I'm glad you raised me to be excited about experiencing new things. I'm not sure I'd have gotten into forensic science without it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's scary too, and sometimes being a little cautious is the right way to go. That part, I'm still learning. Hey, you're not too much, okay? I know it's weird for timing, but that's not a BAD weird and you, yourself? Are amazing. Okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've got enough caution for both of us if it helps? Thanks, Dad. I don't want you to think I'm nervous about this stuff because you guys made me feel less than secure. It's not that. It's the opposite really? I like my life a lot and I just don't want it to change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You get that from your other dad, I think. And Adam. Who is also super great to emulate, so, no complaints. :)))))))))

I'm not really good at big talks, but! I'm going to try. I don't know what, exactly, the future holds and I don't want to make any big promises ~~that might scare~~ but what I do know is that the life you have, with friends, and family, and things you love, and people who love you and support you, sounds like it is a really really great life. And if I get to be a part of that, and see that life come into being? That also sounds really, really great, and worth some weirdness.

	That was pretty great for someone who "isn't really good at big talks". You should give yourself more credit. Some people would've legit freaked about all of this. You didn't even pull a knife on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't own one! Maybe a sharpened Push Pop??? I'm kidding!! I would never. Do you get big talks? Good ones? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lots of good. A few hilarious? Some with more curse words than regular words but the vibes are still good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know! I hadn't really thought about you being a dad. You just started dating for real. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamedup 2023-10-30 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	I know, I hadn't really thought about it either. Maybe a little, last year, with Nora? But in a super vague way, like, being an uncle seems fun, I like kids. But that's SO different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's different, but I don't think it's all that different from how we take care of the people we love right now. I think it's just like, more personal responsibility. More, I don't know. A different kind of love than anybody else gets? We're not gonna fuck up in the same ways Dad did, you know? This little person is gonna count on us to do better and we're gonna fucking do better.

No I--I already know how I would try to be different, and Ro, we know that you already are, okay? We know that by living without secrets, and being open and honest, we're already doing better. And their lives are going to be better for it, we know that now with Nora, look how proud she is of what she creates! We know how to be better, and you're doing it even without Nora here yet. That's a beautiful thing!

And, I'm not going to lie, I really love the idea of raising a family here, where they can just like, run down the path to another house?? I sort of figured that's what I'd do eventually anyway, put up something on the property?

Sure, but. Got keep on top of it. I'm gonna make mistakes. You're gonna make mistakes. It's ok to fuck up if you're ready and willing to fix it. I don't want her to think she can't fuck up either. We all fuck up eventually.

Oh, yeah, of course. I'd be kinda pissed if you went off and bought some cookie cutter shit in the suburbs. We should all be here. There's no better placed for the kids to grow up.
