I gave Abhijeet a bit of a makeover, so now he’s ready to take Cait out on the town!

Caitlin! That’s not how you start a date!
“Dirk… I don’t think we should enroll Rebecca in this program thing until she absolutely positively says she wants to.”
“Why wait?”
“Because, well, we’ve always relied on waiting for our kids to choose their paths in life without putting on any pressure either way when they make a decision. It’s why Rebecca’s ears aren’t pierced and why we didn’t have either of the boys circumcised, remember?”
“But school isn’t a body modification, Lil. It’s just a more challenging class.”
“But what if she genuinely doesn’t want to go, and she just says what she thinks we want to hear about it.”
“Then we’ll ask her, then?”
“We can’t be the ones to do it. We’ll project some sort of bias.”
“Hmm… How about we find someone neutral?”
“Yeah. I think Louis would be a good choice to talk to her.”
“But for now, just relax. I know you want the best for our kids, and you want them to make decisions independently, but I think it’s causing you a bit more stress than it should.”
“Yeah. After all, don’t we both just want them happy?”
“Hey mom! I didn’t expect you to call. I guess you heard the news?”
“Of course I did! I’m so proud of Rebecca! You’re raising such smart children.”
“I, uh, never thought I’d hear you say that.”
“Why wouldn’t I? You know, you really ought to invite me and Kaylynn over for a chat sometime! I’d love to see the kids!”
“Huh. You really want to come over?”
“Yes, absolutely! So, have you decided to let your daughter into the program?”
“Not quite yet, no.”
“Well, why not?”
“Because I don’t know if it’s a good idea.”
“What do you mean? Of course it’s a good idea! She needs to be challenged!”
“And so do my boys, mom. Louis has been a straight A student all his school career.”
“But this is about Rebecca! I’m sure you would have excelled in school if you took as many challenges as your sister, instead of wasting all that time on electives!”
“Mom, this is an elementary school program.”
“Well, you did alright in elementary, then. Why didn’t you get into the program with Angela when you were young?”
“Because no one fucking offered me, mom! They thought I didn’t even exist!”
“Lillith! Language!”
“Mom, I’m… I’m sorry. I’ll call you back tomorrow.”
“If it’s alright with everyone here, I have some exciting news to share with you.”
“What is it dad?”
“Are you and mom having a baby!?”
“No, no. I was approached by the head of the Smuggsworth Program at your school earlier today.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means Rebecca’s test scores were high enough that they’d like her to be in a special gifted class this school year.”
“Really? And I’m the only one who got in?”
“It appears to be so.”
“Woah! Dad, are you serious!? I’ve been dying to get into that program since the third grade!”
“Yes, I am serious. I was in that program, too, as a child, back when we could afford it.”
“Why didn’t I inherit the torch to the Smuggsworth program?”
“Hey, I don’t make the decisions for those things.”
“Mom, if Louis and I didn’t get in Rebecca’s smart class, does that make us stupid?”
“W-What? That’s not an appropriate question to ask.”
“But are we?”
“O-Of… Of course not!”
“Mom! You’re home! Hug me!”
“Sorry, what was that?”
“Hug me, please!”
“That’s better.”
Rebecca has always been skilled in just about everything she does. This summer, she’s picked up the violin on a whim. Her brothers are always very impressed!
Unlike the kids, Lillith and Dirk don’t have a summer vacation and still have to get up for work.
They both just want 5 more minutes.
Just across the street from the Delarosas lives the (mostly) close-knit Starchild family.
Blossom and Jared encourage their children, Carol and Blake, to embrace their creativity and young spirit.
Blake enjoys his parents’ fun activities like drum circles and nature walks, but Carol has always been more of the studious type. Her parents aren’t quite sure about how they feel about that, though, and they’re hitting a bump in the road over whether or not they like Carol’s longing for order, conformity, and most of all: peace and quiet.
“What’s bakin’, shakin’?”
“Oh, just cupcakes for Florian’s school’s bake sale.”
“They look great, hon.”
“Thanks. I followed the school’s list of the rules to a T… at least, I think so.”
“Rules?”
“Oh, just the usual: no nuts, no gluten, no peanuts, no dairy, no shellfish, no eggs, nothing from a company that cages animals, no sugar, no artificial colors, no GMOs, no anything that ends with -ose, and no traces of these ingredients of any kind”
“That’s… a lot of rules. And who bakes with shellfish?”
“That’s what I was wondering, too! We never had these many rules when I was in school.”
“But it’s good they care so much about the kids’ safety. Mr. Starchild was just saying to me the other day, nothing is more important than keeping our children safe.”
“Oh, mentioning Jared just reminded me!”
“Yeah?”
“Is Florian going to the Starchilds’ kid’s chickenpox party this Saturday? Jared called just an hour ago because we never responded to his last eight invitations.”
“…”
“Yeah, I’m telling him ‘no.’”
