Babysitting. This boy cut his finger open playing with something that I told him soooooo many times to leave alone. I had to convince him that he wasn't going to bleed to death. The girl broke the door. They took out swords. Told dirty jokes. Cursed a lot. Tried to talk about sex.

The ten most interesting phrases that I used in the course of the evening:

1. Mien Gott

2. Get off your brother and stop making inappropriate noises.
To which she responded: But I'm adopted!

3. What's my brother doing in a box?

4. Get out of the box and away from the stairs.

5. Don't get into slap fights unless you're a five year old girl.
...that was not an invitation to act like a five year old girl.

6. Don't scare the bejeezus out of him. It's hard to clean up.

7. I swear, I'll hug you if you don't quit it right now.

8. Put down the chainsaw. Now.

9. Ah! I swear to God I thought you were Batman.

10. A screwdriver isn't going to do anything.

"Ah... you seem to have an eventful time."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"They were terrible. Really, they were."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Did you tell them tales? That may have helped."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"I didn't get a chance to. They were too busy movin' 'round and yellin' and the gig was over an hour longer than it shoulda been, with three extra kids."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

He winces. "Sounds bloody horrible."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Yeah."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"'Sokay, 'cept I hafta go back on Tuesday."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Why must you?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"'Cause my sis is goin' into surgery. I'll hafta watch Joey anyway. I'm doin' their fam'ly a favor, my mom says."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"A favor shouldn't be grudgingly given. It's a gift, not a duty. That's why it's a favor."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"I know. They might be better then, though." She grinned. "Gotta hope."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Best luck."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!"

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

He smiles.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She grinned. Today was already much better than yesterday!

"Have you seen Merry? I've been looking for him."

((Oh, and I'm planning on setting up a post for Merry and Pip to take her to the Shire sometime, though Merry'll be slow to answer since she'll be at work. If that's ok with you.))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Ummmm...not recently-ish. I've seen him when you were there, too. But I'll let him know."

((Okey dokey. Sounds fun to me.))

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Drat." He shakes his head, then grins. "Ah, well, we don't need him, do we?"

((Right-o. As soon as I actually feel like putting through some effort, I'll set that up.))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She laughed. "But I like 'im."

((Okay! :D ))

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Oh, aye, but still. He's a Brandybuck." He grins cheekily.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"He's lovely-bright, an' so're you," she said with a decisive nod.

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"You're too kind. To him, at least." He laughs.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Golly. Ain't no such thing as too kind."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Too true. He's my cousin and dearest friend. I don't know what I'd do without him."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"He's great."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Aye." He smiles ruefully. "I've dogged his steps ever since I was a youngling."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"What were y'all like when you were little?" She grinned.

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Even smaller." He laughs.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She laughed. "How'd you act?"

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

"Much as we do now, I'm sure. More carefree, though. We'd not seen danger."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"You two were adorable back then, too, then. Neat."

[thainoftheshire.livejournal.com]

He grins and looks down.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She laughed quietly.

((Victor-mun? Spider said you wanted to ask me something?))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((Oh, no. I was just sorta curious about something silly. Oh! And have you been getting e-mail notifications? Mine are acting a little odd-strange.))

[goodform.livejournal.com]

((They've been really, really weird. Feel free to ask about the silly thing if you want!))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((It's okay. :D ))

[nyc-ricochet.livejournal.com]

Number nine's my favorite. *grins*

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Jeez Louise, I think they were tryin' to make me cry." She grinned.
