Cruel Summer

Again why?  What is with the violence recently?

🌹

Again, no idea. 

Here’s hoping the person doesn’t come back. If he does, let me know - I’ll play him what American Pie is supposed to sound like. 

🌹

I’ll remember that, if I get told that they’re at the store and Im not. Like, it’s a great song, that doesn’t need to be hurt that way, y’know?

All this supposed time I’m spending at Caden’s.   To be honest, I’d probably spend more time if I could; but without moving in.  I’m not going to ruin this by rushing it.  If it was actually Mom who said something, you need to consider her bias.  I’m dating someone, that someone has a kid, they all got along at Thanksgiving… I’m surprised she hasn’t hinted that she’d be happy to take me ring shopping.  Other than gossip, which I would think she’d ask about instead of spreading, it’s not like she knows really what kind of time I’m spending with them.  I don’t phone mom to ask her permission every time I want to hang out with Caden or stay over or something.  

Yeah, surprise, surprise.  Your brother is a decent guy.  I did babysit as bit in high school, when people didn’t assume I was too dumb to watch their kids.  Do I have lightsabers?  I do.  Just because they no longer hang in my window, doesn’t mean I don’t still have them.  She’s possibly a little young for jedi training yet though.

Remind me next year I’d like some mid November. I want one for my classroom door before pti’s in addition to the one I usually get for my loft door.

It wasn’t mom, it was me flipping you crap about your relationship with Caden. Oh, don’t count that out just yet, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and she might take you ring shopping. Though, it’s probably too early on in the relationship for that. Mom’s not a gossiper, the other ladies at the hospital are. Did I say that you did? No, I didn’t.

More of a decent person out of almost every person in Lima. Please, we both know Aspen’s not that young to start jedi training, I bet you, she has already been going through that training.

Why would someone even sing that song at this time of the year?

🌹

No idea, honestly. Maybe they wanted to start a riot in the flower shop?

.

Like, I’ve heard some bad renditions of songs, but the idea of that song being done poorly just… nah. Fingers crossed, and that if they do, they choose not to sing.

🌹

Hopefully they show up while Im on the football field, for all of our sakes.

maxine: did you apply for it? did something happen to the previous coach?

maxine: i don't know, kate bishop. it might or might not work on coach bieste. that's something you'd gotta take up with him.

beckett: ....i was super tired when i texted you, all of that, im sorry. yeah, i applied for it, like last spring, and i think they got caught doing something illegal in Florida? i think they were trying to steal some 18ft skeleton and when they did get them, they told them that they weren't never getting them alive? and then they caught him at the local 7-11.

.

My ears are bleeding at the thought.

🌹

Yeah, I don’t know how my ears didn’t bleed, but, maybe because I was far away. Either way, I hope that customer doesn’t come back.

.

Well, happy to hear you thought to take time off. Though that certainly sounds like a rough customer to have. At least I hope it was a customer.

🌹

Thank you, Punkaj. Yeah, my best bet is that, their partner made them get flowers, for the holiday. Yeah, it was a customer, thank god. How’s the salon going?

RIP to your ears and those poor flowers.

🌹

Pretty much, thank god that I won’t be at the shop for a while.

You might want to check your intel Becks.  I’m in no rush to jump into anything though; I like spending time with them, and even if I wasn’t dating Caden right now, I’d probably still offer to help out with Aspen.  I remember how difficult it was for Mom as a single mom, which Caden is also juggling, plus Aspen is a great kid and I love kids at this age.  I’m full of activities and stories, and games to play, from work.  And nope, she’s rarely a bother.  Even when she’s obviously tired or had too much sugar.  

To be honest I’m surprised she waited that long… I was expecting some of the Christmas stuff to be ready to go at Thanksgiving.

🌹

What intel are you talking about, hm? Mom didn’t tell me nothing about you guys. People talk in this town, remember? That’s pretty nice of you watching someone else’s kid, even if you guys weren’t dating. Mhm, yeah, she also had a chaotic monster for a daughter to raise. Okay, but what if Aspen decides to become this amazing jedi, do you have lightsabers handy? Huh, that’s quite interesting.

Same here, but knowing mom and how many things probably were happening at home, she probably forgot. However, I did come with five extra Christmas wreaths and I already have her written down for next year.

What kind of pie do you think it was, though? I feel like the obvious answer is apple pie but maybe the true pie all along was chicken pot pie… What’d you end up doing with all of the wilted flowers?

🌹

Oh, Tommy. Yes, somehow the song was referencing to apple pie but the song itself is about the fact that when President Kennedy was killed, it also killed the American dream. I think one of my employees took them home for their art project? I’m not entirely sure. Did you want them for some reason?

beckett: so, i don't know why this happened, but im somehow the lima high's football team assistant coach?

beckett: i know how to play football, i know the rules to the game, but i, personally, don't want to go against coach beiste, whenever or if we do play them.

.

Do people really sing that poorly?

🌹

You’d be surprised. Pretty sure the guy thought he can carry a tune, and he cannot find a key.

.

That truly sounds like a terrible time. Like, that’s one of those songs that some people just shouldn’t sing.

🌹

Right? If you want to sing that song, sing the version by Weird Al. I’ve seen where a guy, killed fake flowers by passing gas and walking off with his fiancée.
