Bunica said:
Has everyone seen the flowers? Okay, good, so I can move them. I want to see your faces when we eat.
Oak said:
I really like the meat. It's good for you.
Max said:
Yeah, that's pretty much all I like.
Micah said:
Milla loves the sarmale and so do I because I made them with Bunica. Milla loves to eat ever since she was a baby.
Ratpaw said:
I think team sports are really important for socialization in kids.
Alina said:
Socialization is as soothing and ethical as BF Skinner.
Patrick said:
You don't have to get all excited over little things, Alina, and argue with Gary.
Alina said:
You're right. I just shudder when people talk about socialization without mentioning how destructive school social scenes can be. Do you think Gary knows I love him? I do. Deeply.
Micah didn't say anything.
Max said:
Aww, little Mills.... do you want the hat?
Milla thought:
That doll is stick-like and not soft at all.
Micah said:
Roar.
Milla thought:
This doll is hard too. But I am soft and chubby and sweet. And hungry. Are they eating without me?
Bunica thought:
I love how Milla eats. She is a true Romanian.
Oak thought something profound and inaccessible.
Alina said:
Oh Milla, did somebody not smile at you?
Micah thought:
Oak is really jamming out.
Oak said:
Max, you can play too. We made space for you.
Max said:
Let the wild rumpus begin.
Micah said:
I'm gonna get you Max!
Alina said:
Sometimes I can't tell where one ends and the other begins...
Oak said:
I'm in.
Milla almost said:
There's something about life that I like so very much. And it isn't just the delicious food.
