thank you profusely. i love comments like this that might give me a chance to think about what i've written in a new sort of perspective.

you know, the unlikeliness of the idea was sort of what drew me to it, after it first occurred to me (not very seriously) and wolfsage and i were chatting about it. it makes for more fun with the dialogue if the situation is somewhat absurd. plus, i was really stuck in gary growling (that was wolfsage's image) and his kid saying to him 'i KNEW you'd be weird.'

i sort of feel like i'm impuning the kids' future honor, though. i think they're like--eight or something right now. ::cough::
