I agree with a lot of what you just said but I also kind of need to ask why you were googling poems for Dave in the first place. New rap?

[parodeity]

Nah, it was in February like when we were eleven or twelve. You did the class valentine thing and so did Rose? I wanted to know what an authentically terrible class mandated valentine for me could look like.

[windeity]

I don't know if people use Dr. Seuss in valentines but I guess in theory that makes sense. Was it everything you hoped and dreamed it would be?

[parodeity]

Ehhhh. I think the experience loses something without candy taped inside printed out cards and that look of suppressed rebellion that kids get when adults make them do something dumb and or bond with one another?

[windeity]

You have never truly lived until you're forced to make a glittery mailbox for your classmates to begrudgingly shove store-bought cards and overpriced candy into. But at the same time it was fun? It was nice having something like that to look forward to.

[parodeity]

See, there's just some shit the homeschooling experience can't replicate. Maybe we should float the idea of arts and crafts hour.

[windeity]

I'm pretty sure people would actually be into that. We have nothing else to do here and it'd be kind of fun.

[parodeity]

Yeah, maybe. You tired enough yet?

[windeity]

Yeah. It is actually pretty late. Are you going to bed, too?

[parodeity]

I was plannin' to go up to my bedroom. [ this confirms nothing about sleep. ]

[windeity]

Okay. [Yep, not going to call him on it because he doesn't think about it.] Wake me up in the morning. You are always awake before I am anyway.

[parodeity]

Sure. Eight hours fine? [ he's a glorified alarm clock and perfectly okay with that. ]

[windeity]

Yeah, that's fine. [Burying into the blankets a little.] Thanks dude. Wake me up before that if you need anything though.

[parodeity]

Like if I want you to walk me to the bathroom? [ john what would he need in the middle of the night????

comfort for nightmares doesn't occur to him because haha...asking for help ]

[windeity]

Sure. [Haha too bad he's weirdly serious about that and definitely would since Dave's the one who was panicking.]

[parodeity]

Night, John. [ dave will wake him up in approximately eight hours... ]

[windeity]

Night...[And unfortunately he will sleep for the full eight hours like a normal boy. Bye Dave. ]
