But not for Jonesy He was consuood co towers I looked at oodness with a fork

What was priceless was the Terrans had elected to accept the invitation to attend the huge Thanksgiving feast for the first time Mrs Terran had her lips pursed in a line that could have cut paper, watching Jonesy’s disaster disappear into his ic trick

She then looked at Helen who looked back unblinking As if on horrible cue, Micah let out a huge belch It was guy worthy

I was sorta hoping these touldn’t talk the entire evening

Of course, that couldn’t be a possibility Joan Terran started right in on Helen Jones ’Cuz why not?

"So Helen, tell me how old your new addition is?"

That must’ve been code for baby I shifted reen

Helen was too slow and Jonesy wasn’t going to let a es "Fivevery white in his brown face "Right, Monored the manners and beamed at him because he actually kne old his little sister was

For Jonesy that was pretty i to restrain herself but she was compulsive and said, "Dear boy, could you not show us the bowels of your mouth and what it contains?"

John’s face flushed a deep cri he could have parents that would overlook sht it but she wouldn’t have said it

Helen pasted a fake smile on her face that somehoith her heler deal is Jonesy ree That’s not really a detail all teenage boys care about" And she was back to bea at Jonesy

Joan narrowed her eyes into unattractive slits and John turnedup residence on his face Obviously his nized that expression Mo to try to deflect the mess when Micah chose that time to spew barf and take a baby nuclear warhead at the same time

It was an explosion Micah sprayed a strea Gramps’ hile crap shot up out of the back of her diaper, coating her pink baby outfit a dull and penetrating ood way

Then the sirls stood up out of their seats, their hands covering theirand Joan turned red in the face but recovered saying, "You cannot control the children?" through clenched teeth, beyond offended In fact, I’d say it would be a lifelong scar for old Joan

Helen recovered, she was Jonesy’s mom after all "I think you can do a better job," she leaned across the table, dangling baby Micah across the scattered and e her while I get a change of outfit"

Jonesy stabbed his spork in the air, having never paused through the whole organic explosion, "Totally legit plan, Mo away fro her off with a stretched out pal her nose

Helen watched her with a smirk then turned to Bill "Honey, hold Micah while I fetch her diaper and stuff"

Bill looked so happy to have Poopy Baby, clutching her gingerly around her torso, careful not to stick a thu owned by a five ain

Mom had weaseled away like a coward and now returned with the peace offering "Pie?" she asked the roo surge with the smells of puave sounds in the affirmative and Jonesy asked, "Can I have seconds of that too?"

"Thirds, Jones," Gra his head "Okay, Mac"

Graood one and Jonesy’s eyes bulged, barely hanging on to the load he had in his mouth Gramps walked into the kitchen and I heard the tap turn on at the sink He returned with a bucket and washrags

Helen returned and gasped "I’ll clean that up, Mac"

Joan wrinkled her nose

"Nah I’ve cleaned up lance at Joan

I was a John’s mom

Mom sliced the pie while Grah the re it protectively

Jade smiled and I noticed with some relief that she looked al sessions she was getting froot off Her last session was to the adults towith Jade

"You don’t like thereat"

"Not so much for an Empath," she said and he nodded It would be pretty intianic

"Don’t coeries were the norm, infection rampant, lawsuits, co I just want it to be over Every tiet re" She suddenly looked at Alex "How corandparents?"

"They’re out of town, John’s parents are in charge"

We looked over at the Geritol pair Brother

Alex saw our expressions "I can handle theed then looked at randpa is so cool?"

I didn’t have a clue

We sat their conteory

Then Jade said, "I guess I could go with you to judo, then you could dropclinic?" She flicked her black hair behind her shoulder and I stuffed an insane urge to bend down andin it

She smiled at my dazed pause and waited

I nodded then re later I lifted a chin to Terran "Coo to the durandparents didn’t o to my lame cousins house, it’s better here" He rolled his eyes and Jonesy walked up

"The ones that live on a farled his eyebrows

Alex scowled and Jonesy said, "See Now that’s what I’ets all his first hand kno about the ani he’d elaborate

He turned red instead

Jonesy began nodding his head, a big grin slapped on his face "Now that’s what I’ about Bestiality h "No! He doesn’t dig ducks and stuff, he likes Randi"
