Dorian: Everyone's takes to bein' a parent differently...it's really somethin' ya gotta learn on yer own...That said, Zach's behavior don't exactly surprise me...Auddey was kinda similar with the boys when they was growin' up...
Audrey: So!? A Momma has to look out fer her pups!
Dorian: There are limit's Darlin'...ya gotta give yer pups enough leash to learn through experience...ya gotta let 'em scrape their knees from time to time...to get their hearts broken...
Audrey: *Huffs* I know...I-It's just hard sometimes...is all...Ya don't want to think of yer pups growin' up...
Vernon: To be fair...I don't think Ma was ever as bad as Zach is...
Zach: Oh c'mon now! Ma wouldn't even let us drive the family truck without her in the passenger seat till we was eighteen!
Yuri: Ma didn't try to paw cuff us to keep us from goin' on a vacation with his aunts and uncles supervisin' though.
Trenton: And the curfews stopped when we were fourteen...and weren't as early as seven PM...
Zach: He's a growin' pup! He needs his rest!
Vanna: *Sighs and Rolls her eyes*
Dawn: *Giggles* I also don't remember hearing about Audrey wrapping any of you in bubble wrap while learning to ride your bikes without training wheels...
Yuri: Though she always had a meltdown when she caught me doing stunts on my dirtbike...*Snickers*
Audrey: Sweet Sawgrass Yuri! You built a ramp outta junk from the barn to try to jump onto the barn roof! O'course I was gonna stop ya from doin' that! You coulda kilt yerself!
Yuri: Bah! I could have been a neighborhood legend...
Trenton: Yeah, the wolf who snapped his neck trying to jump a barn with a dirtbike...truly legendary...
Vanna: To be fair...Zach has been doing a bit better in terms of his...helicopter parenting. We've...been really working on it together...
Yuri: So does that mean y'all don't have to do anymore cuff and tackles on him?
Vanna: *Winces* Well...eh...we're down to once a week tops...
Group: *Laughs*
Zach: *Whines* I just wanna look out fer my son!
Vernon: Lookin' out fer, and keepin' him in a lock box er' two different thangs...at a certain point it's abuse...
Zach: *Whines louder*
Vanna: In regards to your other question...we've been...working together to properly prepare Zach for the talk.
Ada: Honestly, he's should just lets youse do it...
Zach: No, it has to be me...*sighs* I'm his Pa, and it's my job...It'll be my Kitten's turn when Ro-Rose...*Eyes widen slightly*
Vernon: *Rolls eyes* Lemme guess, y'all just realized Rose is gonna eventually grow up too?
Zach: *Eyes now watering* YEEEEES! *Whines*
Ada: Oh yeah, it's lookin' real good for him keepin' his composure togeddah while tryin' to talk to Marcus about da boids and bees.
Dorian: The talk is a lot to handle fer a first time father...but as rough as it is, I do have to agree that talk should come from Marcus' Pa. It just...it helps to hear that sorta thang from yer Pa over yer Ma...
Vernon: It's certainly less awkward...although in Zach's case, I'm not entirely sure.
Zach: I can do it damn it! I can! Alright...*huffs* I-It's...*sniffle* Just wait until y'all have to have the talk... then you'll know how it feels...
Yuri: At least we'll all have you as a yardstick going into it to teach us how 'not to' do it...that's fer sure... *snickers*
