Who I Really Am Is a Fangirl

You know who he is.

Bruce: “Sometimes I really worry about you.”

Jason, loading his guns: “What about the other times?”

I have not already figured out that the wolves howling outside could be paparazzi, and the bacon is not a tracker that helps them find her... and that maybe (not based on canon) Adam's dad was not the second son of the Kielder line who took some of his inheritance and created a wildly successful and famous business, but he's a jerkface who wrote into his will that Adam will lose all access to the business and accounts unless he marries by age 30... and that Persephone's dad does not rather ineptly runs a rare bookstore, which has been losing money, and her siblings won't be able to continue their schooling...

Nope, nope, should not do this, not at all.

Me, not at all thinking about it:

My mom (72) recently downsized and moved close enough to me that checking on her in person regularly is not really out of my way, but when I was obvious about it she wouldn’t let me “stop-by” because she was, “fine”.

- ask for something they can actually help you with. Elders have skills. Mending? Advice about knitting, gardening, home repair, nevermind professional training?

-ask about their experiences. “I was reading about xyz event the other day & I would love to know what that time was like for you. Can we chat about it over tea?” Goes double for family history for relatives.

-“Someone gave me this [or, I ended up with extra] & I don’t need/want it, but I bet you have a use for it. Can I bring it over? I would hate for it to go to waste.”
