Theodora Erin Nagy

There are more people in this house than I think there were on my block in Brooklyn. 

-

Theo!! I didn’t know you were home. Noel said you were at the studio.

I’m thinking about creative tech!  Lots of coding and robots and things I never thought I’d be interested in until I was forced to take an intro class to check off my technology class.

-

I just got home like three m-minutes ago! 

I don’t love the cherries, but I do like the chocolate and Cool Whip. Maybe throw some chocolate shavings on the top. Maybe some extra whipped cream? Delicious. 

Sorry, I know you don’t like it. Hey, um. Speaking of Mama. The detectives called me last week and said that we can legally pronounce them dead and have a funeral, and.. I want to do it, but I wanted your thought before I went through on it.

This house is even bigger than Seymour described it to be…

I’m thinking about changing my major, but I really don’t know. 

An icebox cake… okay. Let’s see here….. Mm. Okay, this one is better. I like this one. You’re right. How’d you make this one? Why’s it called an icebox cake? 

—Fuck. Sorry. I didn’t mean to flick that at you. Just my tics, man. Fuck. Sorry. I’ll clean that up.

I knew you’d love it! It’s thin chocolate wafers and Cool Whip. Then you just freeze it and add a couple cherries on top. 

Never try to make anything healthier, Theo. Not everything in life is meant to be healthy and that’s okay… Next. Next dessert please.

If Mama isn’t here to tell you to watch your sugars, someone’s gotta b-be. You know how she liked her Low Cal ice-cream b-b-b-ba-bars. 

Okay fine…

…Okay it’s not terrible. It needs something… Like… it’s not sweet enough…

Told you! Dang, really? I tried to not use as much sugar to ma-ma-make it healthier. 

Mom’s didn’t smell like this though, Theo. Her’s didn’t jiggle like this either. I’m really not sure how you did it…

I added the jiggle to m-ma-match your jiggly br-brain! Just try one b-b-bite while it’s warm. 

—-I’m sorry, it just smells a little funny. 

It’s a family tradition, Noel. What would Mama say? You have to eat it or Santa won’t bring you annyyy presents. Plus, I made it all on my own without Nora’s help. I need you to compare it to Moms’ and see how I did. 

Yeah, but it wasn’t so bad… I think Ilia makes it seem a lot worse than it is. In family therapy, he just sits there and sobs. It’s so annoying. 

Geez...Salley...I’m so sorry.
