can we get real for a moment?

Finally healthy and caught up with my work.

Pleased to hear it. Not so sure the caffeine is a good idea, though.

And that was all you?

Well, I imagine she'd describe it as driving her out of the house, but yes. I'd like to think I taught them something.

Mr. Lacrosse raised a nerd. How does that make you feel?

Oh, please, that's all Sam. I'm just impressed she learned that fresh air is good for you after all.

What made you cry that hard?

Doctor Who, Supernatural, one of the million other things she watches... She has a long list. I'm often surprised she has time for a social life.

I have to. It’s all I can do besides lay here. You call it entertaining, I call it a disaster. But it was kinda funny, key word: kinda.

Poor baby. You'll be alright soon. Key word: funny.

Including my health. You better. Thankfully we both didn’t end up sick at the same time, the last time that happened was a disaster.

Mm, don't rub it in. Oh, a disaster? I thought it was entertaining, except for when the kids nearly burned the house down.

Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to be here in case you needed anything. 

And you gave me everything I needed. And now I get to take care of you.

I count myself as lucky too.

If you will insist on staying in bed with me all day... Not that I minded.

Very bad ideas usually look like very good ideas whenever we have one of your infamous nights out… Besides, you’re sick. 

And that's a bad thing? Yes, I am, but I won't be forever.

What’s a night out?

Hilarious. Come on. It'd be fun. Tell me you don't miss it.

Are you drunk?

Sick, although the results tend to be similar. Affectionate, clingy, projectile vomiting.

Mm, don't say that. Let me keep the illusion that you're just five and tiptoeing around the house because your dad has a migraine.

Not exactly. Just enough to talk again, which I'm sure you all missed. 

Yeah, okay. That makes it seem like you were going to name me something horrible, like… Wilfred.

I wanted Evander. Or Arnold. Maybe Wilheim...
