i wanted to draw some outfits that i thought these two would wear. i don't know anything about fashion!! but i chose things i thought each of them would like. i did forget clementine's arm fluff, but i'd have to remove it to put her in fishnet gloves anyway. so it works out. (clem is very tall, lol)

Food Diary: Week Three
Tea, a clementine, deepfried oven chips (topped with table salt, ground black pepper, Hellman’s mayonnaise, chopped spring onions, spinach, diced red pepper and [Bull’s Eye] Carolina Reaper Extra Hot Sauce), two cups of peppermint tea, a very green apple, kale, pear, pineapple, and lemon smoothie, leftover chips (refried), several iterations on Heck sausage bagels (ft. salted butter, Philadelphia/Laughing Cow cheese spread, table salt, ground black pepper, chopped spring onions, spinach, melted plastic cheese/Homepride cheese & tomato pasta sauce, and [Bull’s Eye] Carolina Reaper Extra Hot Sauce), two ASDA Nduja Style chicken ready meals (at intervals), no Marmite wraps, sleep.
The Punisher: War Zone (one film away from completing the ‘unverse’ of films released based on Marvel properties prior to or unaffiliated with the formation of Marvel Studios, and... I can honestly say this is on the whole the strangest collected body of artistic work I think I’ve ever engaged with. Not the most interestingly weird, and not the worst either, but just the most jarring iterative creative stumbling around an unformed idea, this level of budget hitting this uncertainty of tone is seldom good and morbidly fascinating), Sinfadil, sleep.
Two small carrots, half of a BP garage chicken & bacon sandwich, one can of chocolate milk, one Nana Mexico chicken & chorizo burrito (sans beans), a handful of rather plain tortilla chips (ft. ‘salsa’), a Nana Mexico beef burrito (sans beans), sleep.
Noteworthy quantities of water, a cheese twist, a chicken & bacon croissant, a chicken pastry slice, another can of chocolate milk, many sour spiders, a can of San Pelingrino lemonade, another Heck sausage bagel (ft. salted butter, table salt, ground black pepper, chopped spring onion & and spinach, and melted plastic cheese), three episodes of The Nevers (as noted, continues to hold up and seemed a reasonable split of thematic interests for VFZ and aesthetic interests for Pepsi), one re-grilled vegan sausage roll (ft. Philadelphia & [Bull’s Eye] Carolina Reaper Extra Hot Sauce), three buttered crackers, toast (ft. salted butter, Laughing Cow cheese spread, and English mustard), two crackers (topped with salted butter, Philadelphia & [Bull’s Eye] Carolina Reaper Extra Hot Sauce), sour spiders, sleep.
Toast (ft. salted butter, Laughing Cow cheese spread, and English mustard), a final Heck sausage bagel (ft. salted butter, table salt, ground black pepper, chopped spring onion & spinach, and melted plastic cheese), a slice of toast (ft. salted butter, leftover nduja sauce), a packet of Lightly Sea Salted Crispy Bites Snacktastic™ Multigrain Bites (dipped in salted butter), two small carrots, most of the back half of an episode of Ross & Carrie (the Gene & Melissa Scott stuff getting weirder and weirder), some Nerds (yellow, green, and peach), two further Nevers (generally a lot of momentum going by the back half of the season – Z has found one debatable nitpick so far), the last of the dairy free Galaxy orange chocolate, sleep.
The rest of the back half of an episode of Ross & Carrie (very silly conclusion), another packet of Lightly Sea Salted Crispy Bites Snacktastic™ Multigrain Bites (dipped in butter), a further nduja style chicken ready meal, cheesy garlic mashed potato, toast (one slice ft. salted butter, and Marmite, one slice ft. salted butter, Laughing Cow cheese spread, English mustard), further Ross & Carrie (a psychic healer who never talks and has a huge new-age following, but also wrote a book proving to be a weird end times Christian with a bunch of random bizarre/sinister takes), two jerk chicken drumsticks, one bottle of fizzy red grape soft drink, one sesame bagel (ft. salted butter, Laughing Cow, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, chopped spring onion, fried battered cod goujons, and a potato waffle), one potato waffle wrap (ft. Laughing Cow, chopped spring onion, fried battered cod goujons, and Sweet Chili Sauce), an episode and a half of Crime Story (surprisingly effective domestic look at the Clintons), cheesy bacon maize snack straws, The Nevers season finale (a mix of emotive character work and teasing details for the future of the show unsurprisingly left Zak wanting more plot), a bowl of Special K, one episode of Doctor Who (The Three Doctors), sleep.
A Marmite wrap, one cheesy garlic mashed potato wrap (ft. salted butter, ground lack pepper, chopped spinach, deepfried chicken strips, melted plastic cheese, and leftover Double Dragon takeaway salt & pepper chicken chilies), one cheesy garlic mashed potato wrap (ft. salted butter, ground black pepper, chopped spinach, and Heck sausages), most of a Big Finish Eighth Doctor audio (Stones Of Venice, honestly charming in places but suffering the heavy-handedness of the medium pretty clearly), sleep.

a day in the life (ymls)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it's been awhile since I've posted anything about these cuties so here's a lil blurb!!!!! hope you enjoy :)
word count: 1.3k
content warnings: family stuff, y/n is no longer pregnant BUT there's discussions of her pregnancy, giving birth, and lactating/breastfeeding
ymls masterlist
main masterlist | talk to me
patreon
. . .
Y/N never asked Harry to live with her.
They never had a conversation about it, instead just deciding to go to her house after she and Clementine were released from the hospital because it would likely be easier to recover in her own space — all of her lactation gear was there, along with the three (3!) different pregnancy pillows Harry purchased for her throughout the duration of the pregnancy. 
But then he just never… left.
In hindsight, despite neither of them bringing it up, they both recognize that it’s a way past overdue discussion. Someone should’ve been like, “hey, I know we’ve only been dating for like four months or so and we’re having a baby together, but should we live in the same space, maybe? Just for ease of parenting and all that?”. 
Surprisingly, though, since Y/N very much appreciates her own room — she didn’t do well in college when she had a roommate in their dorm, and she’s very much an introvert that adores heading home at the end of the long day and simply being alone — she hasn’t completely hated Harry being around all the time. It’s the most that they’ve ever spent time together, a whopping three and a half weeks straight since Clementine was born.
It’s a different kind of time, though, considering a newborn’s schedule is unlike anything else. They alternate between who gets to nap during the day and while Y/N is technically cleared for recovery, she still aches like… well, like she pushed an entire body through her. (Even when she tears up looking at Clementine nearly every day, she still shudders at the thought of giving birth. Harry called it the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen and she sincerely wonders if he’s mentally well.) 
And somehow, they’ve developed a schedule that works quite well, for now at least. Clementine, their sweet little baby girl, is a decent sleeper. Per all those parenting books Harry obsessed over for nine months, she spends most of her time sleeping, with multiple feeding times throughout the day and night.
When Harry and Y/N both manage to be awake and conscious during the day, they hover over her bassinet — well, formerly in Y/N’s room, but now it seems to be Y/N’s plus Harry’s room? — quietly leaning in to make sure she’s breathing okay, admiring her cute little face, and taking pictures of the adorable onesies Harry puts her in. They have visitors, of course, including both pairs of their parents, siblings, and mutual friends. There’s a lot of crying and smiling and, oddly enough, entertaining, which is silly considering they’re still brand new parents who are working off of two- or three-hour incremental naps. 
In terms of their dynamic, things shift slightly, but Y/N is still the grump Harry adores. She’s exhausted, understandably so. The whole breastfeeding thing wreaks havoc on her body and Clementine doesn’t love it, so she tries her best to regularly pump milk for her, but she hates sitting on the couch, asking Harry to turn on some stupid reality show to distract her, and feeling the machine push and prod at her breasts. 
“This makes me feel like a cow,” she’d huffed the first time they did it, and it made Harry snort so loud he had to excuse himself from the room. 
But Harry… he’s good, even if it’s difficult for Y/N to properly communicate that to him. She knows she got very lucky with him, not just from a partnership standpoint — which, that’s an entirely different conversation that they haven’t gotten to yet — but a parenting one, too. He has no reason to get up with her at 3 am because Clem’s doing her sweet little lamb cries from the corner of their bedroom. Y/N can very easily escape to the room she designated as her nursery months back, where there’s a comfy nursing chair her mother bought her, but instead Harry’s up before Y/N’s eyes are even properly open, gently placing her in her arms and pushing a warm bottle into her hand.
He insists on helping her with every feeding, taking on more diaper changes than Y/N, and even doing his best to take care of her along the way. He helps her into the bath when her bones and joints are too achy to stand in the shower, he never complains about cooking them dinner (if Y/N orders food one more time, she thinks her bank will call her and ask if she’s been taken hostage by one of those ordering apps), and, even with her heightened hormones and emotions, she does indeed cry helplessly, salty tears leaking onto her daughter’s forehead when Harry comes home one day with a bouquet of flowers, a tidy note in the front that says “for my girls”. 
It makes him laugh so hard, the sight of his cranky girl in her milk-stained robe standing in the kitchen, gently rocking Clementine as she holds the pretty stems. 
“Why are you laughing?” Y/N sniffs, lifting her hand to quickly wipe tears away from her cheeks. 
“Because you just look so cute right now,” he says with a grin. He takes the flowers back from her, murmuring out something about putting them in a vase. 
“Sometimes I do wonder if you’re certifiably insane.” Y/N mutters, partially to herself. When she glances down at a milk drunk Clem, a smile quirks at the edges of her lips. “What do you think, Clemmie? Is dada crazy?”
Harry knows that this isn’t the traditional family he dreamed about, that having a baby with Y/N was a risk he was only willing to take because he always wanted to be a dad — but shit, he’s so happy. 
(Y/N is, too. She’s over the moon, with the way gratitude feels like it fills up her body in a way she’s never experienced before. And she knows she’s awful at expressing her feelings, but when she glances back up at Harry, eyes twinkling with a healthy blush over her cheeks and a smile on her lips, he knows. He just knows.)

FUCKING. YES.
What (some of) my ocs put you as in their phone:
Liu/Lucille (butcher/cannibal Yan): "Bambi" or "Belle/Beauty" The latter related to one of their favorite movies as a kind. If she could love her beast, you'll do the same won't you?
C.C/Saffron (Yan incubus): "Bae <3" with a string heart and flower emojis after. Will just as quickly change it to "Lil' bitch" if you ignore him long enough
Amyas (Yan cupid): "Answer immediately"
Baron (Yan demon): "MJNW" He's trying to spell mine, but his fingers are too fucking fat to hit the right keys
Maddox (Yan reaper): "Them"/the gendered variant. Simple, to the point - brings a smile to their face everytime they see it on the screen.
Alasdair (Yan Angel): "My light" Bro lights up a whole room with those eyes, but pop off king
V (incel Yan): "Kitten"
Miller (streamer Yan): "P1"
Erin (Yan Bully): "Pain in my ass" when you first give it to him. "Everything" after he finally let's his heart bleed.
Theodore (Teacher Yan): "Dear" for you, but he asks you put him in your phone as "Teddy"
Devlin (immortal Yan): "Boo (at night I think of you...)" His favorite song from that time period and what he plays outside your window.
Silas (immortal Yan): "THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE DUMBASS" He sends a lot of "prank texts" to people and almost send you a five paragraph long threat when it was meant for your boss.
Selene (Yandere housewife): "Sweetheart, My One/My Only" She gets so embarrassed when you find out.
Orion (Yandere Devil): "Prized Jewel"
Gemini/Gemini (Twin Devils in one body): "Our Missing Piece" They change it constantly, but that's what it's been for the longest
Daina (Yan Final Girl): "Rid3 or Di3"
Dea (Worshiper God): "My Universe." Stuff like that seems so small to them, but it just feels right.
Cherry, Clementine, Lemon (Yandere robots): "Master" Cherry and Lemon put hearts at the end, Clementine puts a sword
Lime (Yan cat hybrid bot): "Owner~" with a tongue emoji at the end
D.kay (Yan Murderbot): "SUNNI" (sunny) or just a long string of those heart eyed emojis
Milk Tea (Yan cow hybrid): Pet
Eggnog (Yan cow hybrid): "Bunny or J.J" The name of the rabbit plush they own as a child. Without it they aren't sure they'd be alive today. The same goes for you.
Root beer Milk (Yan cow hybrid): "Partner in Crime"
Bluebird (Former Darling Yan): "Saving Grace" or your name with a key emoji at the end.
Gus (Clown Yan): "Cutie Pie"
(And that's it for now. If there are any characters you'd like to see just lemme know and I might do a part two)

And they were roommates…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
part 1 | part 2 • ethan landry x chad meeks-martin (cause there ain’t enough to go around)
• warnings: none except that it’s a/b/o read at your own risk dawg
• just a little no gf! fluff to scratch that itch
Ethan honestly doesn’t expect his roommate to just be right there the moment he finally manages to get their dorm-room door to open. But alas, there he is.
Clad in nothing but a dark green towel that’s hanging precariously low on his hips. His noticeably gorgeous roommate takes one look at Ethan over his shoulder and grins crookedly.
Ethan drops his keys, jaw dropping along with them.
This has to be some kind of mistake, he decides immediately.
His roommate is standing there, silhouetted by the early morning sunlight filtering in through the curtains beyond him, looking for all the world as if he’s been sculpted by ancient worshippers as a tribute to their Gods. His bronzed skin is glistening with droplets of water and his hair is wet and dripping onto the back of his neck and his abs are horrifically defined and oh.
There’s a whole group of girls sitting on the bed that Ethan surmises must be his— because it’s pushed up against the side of the room with walls that are bare as opposed to the other wall that’s absolutely plastered with movie posters and framed sports memorabilia.
“Hey, roomie!” his dorm mate calls, lifting a hand to wave in greeting— which only serves to flex his impressive bicep involuntarily and Ethan has to contain the urge to groan at the sight aloud.
Shit together, Ethan urges himself, now.
“Um,” he mutters dumbly, obviously still incapable of forming any sentences or making any moves. And even if he could, his keys are still on the floor and he’s kind of unable to bend over to get them seeing as he’s got a duffle bag thrown over his shoulder and luggage in each of his hands.
One of the girls sitting on his bed gracefully stands, rolling her eyes at the others who are kind of just staring at him and snickering quietly, and makes her way over to Ethan. She scoops up his keys and takes one of his bags, smiling kindly.
“Hi, I’m Anika,” she introduces herself boldly. “Come in. Sorry about the party.”
Ethan steps inside his dorm, glancing about fretfully.
“Hi?” he tries a bit awkwardly. “I’m, uh, Ethan.”
“Hello, Uh Ethan,” one of the two other girls sitting on the bed calls mockingly, a smirk pulling at the side of her lips.
She looks a bit like his roommate.
“Mindy, be nice,” said extremely attractive roommate scolds lightheartedly, turning to walk over to Ethan as well— one hand held out. “Hey, bro. I’m Chad.”
Chad, Ethan considers, his name is Chad.
Of course it is.
And he’s an alpha.
Of course he is.
And he smells absolutely mouth-watering.
Like a raging sea-side bonfire. And sweet clementine’s in the height of the summer. And peppermint candy canes on Christmas morning.
Fuck.
Ethan reaches up mechanically to shake Chad’s hand but flounders sort of pathetically and reddens when Chad fist-bumps him instead with an entertained little grin.
“This is gonna sound incredibly rude,” Chad drawls. “I think? But is that your natural scent?”
Ethan flushes. From head-to-toe. In the words of Madonna; like a virgin.
Which he is.
“Dude!” the last of the three girl’s in the room scolds, throwing her hands up and rolling her eyes at Chad’s back— like the alpha’s impropriety is a common occurrence. “It’s called tact, knothead. Exercise it.”
Chad doesn’t look cowed in the slightest by the tiny girl’s admonishment. He actually chuckles and bites into the corner of his stupidly plush bottom lip as he regards Ethan.
“Ignore him,” Anika advises from where she’s standing beside Ethan. “The rest of us certainly do.”
Chad throws his head back and laughs openly and Ethan’s pretty sure there’s not enough oxygen left in the room because— holy shit, the alpha’s smile is just all kinds of absolutely beautiful— and also, Ethan can’t seem to draw in a breath properly.
“What?” Chad defends, still sniggering softly. “I’m just saying! He smells good. Have any of you ever met a guy that smells like, I don’t know, flowers and chocolate and sunshine and shit?”
Ethan squirms, just a tiny bit, the hot blush still high on his cheeks.
And the girl Chad had called Mindy seems to catch his unspoken admission. Her eyes widen and she jumps up, grinning widely.
“Oh my God,” she breathes out, her expression one of utter epiphany, as she crosses the room and practically shoves Chad out of her way. “No way.”
The taller of the two alpha’s stumbles aside, frowning in offense as one of his hands flies down to the knot at the front of his towel to keep it in place.
“Hey!” he crows softly in displeasure. “Watch the goods, sis.”
Ethan can’t contain the puzzled little noise that spills out of him as Mindy leans considerably into his personal space, wide-eyed and thrilled, before she takes in a sharp whiff of his scent.
Because apparently, Ethan presumes, none of these people have ever been taught any basic freaking manners.
“Okay, Min,” Anika inserts, setting Ethan’s suitcase aside so she can take hold of one of the female alpha’s arms and pull her away slightly— into what most people would decree a more socially-acceptable distance. “Let’s not traumatize Chad’s new roommate first thing in the morning, yeah?”
Mindy turns her massive grin on the shorter beta.
“He’s an omega,” she proclaims in a near squeal, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
Oh… my God, Ethan thinks, suppressing the urge to bury his face into the palms of his hands. He genuinely wishes the ground would just open up and swallow him whole.
Like, yeah, a male omega isn’t exactly the most common thing in the world— even in NYC— but does she really have to announce it to the room like that?
“Guys, you’re making him uncomfortable,” the tiny girl who had scolded Chad previously interjects from her spot atop Ethan’s bed, one corner of her lips tugging down.
Speaking of Chad, the alpha is kind of just standing there now, surveying Ethan with narrowed eyes and a frenzied forehead like he’s trying to piece it all together himself.
Fuck, Ethan laments, even at perplexity, his roommate is still exquisitely stunning.
Then the other boy groans; loud and long and suffering and it startles the shit out of Ethan and he watches— really fucking bewildered by it all— as Chad turns to his own bed where he ruffles through the pockets of an abandoned pair of jeans for a moment before pulling out a twenty dollar bill.
He hands it over to a positively beaming Mindy, who pockets the money and glances over her shoulder at the girl still sitting on the bed.
“Remind me to have Sam and Quinn pay up too,” she prompts. “Called it.” The other girl shakes her head at the alpha, but she’s smiling regardless of her disapproval.
Wait, Ethan thinks, Quinn?
“Quinn Bailey?” he inquires, brows furrowed. “The sophomore?”
Everyone turns to look at him.
Only Anika nods.
“You’re acquainted?” she questions, arching a perfectly-sculpted brow.
Ethan reaches up to run a hand through his curls awkwardly as he huffs out an inelegant little giggle.
“She’s my older sister,” he admits with a shrug and a timid smile. “How, uh, how do you guys know her?”
“She’s my roommate,” the girl on the bed remarks, finally moving to stand. “I’m Tara, by the way. Quinn shares an apartment with me and my sister, Sam. You know, she did mention a little brother. But from the way she talks about you, I was kind of expecting a little kid.”
“Oh,” Mindy decides, smirking in an almost ominous way. “This is… delicious.”
That’s terrifying, Ethan decides.
“Wait—” Chad butts in, both brows prominently arched. “You’re the brother from Quinn’s stories? The one she forced into dresses and makeup so she could play the evil dragon who locked the princess in a tower? That baby brother?”
Ethan’s face feels like it’s on fire all over again.
He’s going to murder Quinn.
He ducks his head a bit and watches as Chad’s lips languidly stretch out into a positively delighted smirk.
“Well, in that case, I should apologize for my earlier rudeness,” the boy laments in a deep twang that he’s obviously putting on for show, which he follows up with an exaggerated bow at the waist.
In his bent position, he peers up at Ethan through unfairly dark lashes and grins sinfully.
“Princess.”
Ethan is totally fucked.

the gentle warmth of the rising sun. love in the form of a home-cooked meal. meeting people where they are. motes of dust in a beam of light. the comforting presence of an animal companion. deep-set laughter lines. taking your time. the smell of fresh hay. the velvet hide of a newborn calf. offering someone a taste of whatever you’re cooking. keeping the door open and leaving the light on. coming when you’re called. the unshakeable belief that people will always deserve another chance.
statistics.
full name:  joshua alain bennett nickname(s)/alias(es):  josh, jay name meaning:  god is deliverance age:  thirty-six date of birth:  october 16th star sign:  libra place of birth:  pelican town, stardew valley current location:  pelican town, stardew valley gender:  cis-male pronouns:  he/him sexual orientation:  bisexual occupation:  rancher family:  thomas bennett (father), dominique bennett (mother, née alain), lisette alain (maternal grandmother), katherine ‘katie’ bennett (wife, deceased) education level:  high school graduate living arrangements:  lives by himself at sweet pea ranch loved gifts:  hashbrowns, apples, honey hated gifts:  rabbit foot, parsnips, ginger
biography. (death of a spouse tw)
Joshua was born in Stardew Valley, and had no intention of ever leaving it.
He’s a farm boy through and through - Sweet Pea Ranch is his family home, and he’s worked there since he was old enough to toddle around on his own. One of his earliest memories is of a calf being born.
Even as his childhood friends grew up and moved away, Joshua was content to keep treading water, going through the motions of small town life as naturally as breathing.
Things changed when he met Katie. She blew into town for the Stardew Valley Fair, and he was smitten with her right away.
Katie was only supposed to stay in town for a week, but a week quickly became a month, and months became a year, until it was as if she’d always been there.
After three years of dating, Joshua finally asked Katie to marry him. The ceremony was held in the Pelican Town Square, and you couldn’t’ve asked for a happier couple.
A year after Joshua and Katie got married, the couple relocated to the suburbs of Zuzu City, to be closer to Katie’s parents.
For five years, everything seemed certain. Life wasn’t easy, but it didn’t matter because they were happy - they were together. And then, with one telephone call, everything fell apart. Katie had been hit by a car as she cycled into the office she worked at, and died of her injuries en route to the hospital. Joshua didn’t get to say goodbye to her.
After Katie died, Joshua went home to his family in the Valley. He didn’t recognise himself, couldn’t make sense of his life in the city without his wife, and he couldn’t think of anything to do except go back to what he knew.
It took a long time to get back to himself, but Joshua threw himself into his work at the ranch, and as the hurt grew less, made increasing efforts to engage with the community that had always taken such good care of him.
Four years ago, Joshua’s parents left the Valley and moved south to care for his grandmother, Lisette, in her old age. He runs Sweet Pea Ranch by himself now, and he is happy… but sometimes the old farm house feels a little big for just him and his dog.
other things.
Joshua only stopped wearing his wedding ring in the last year.
He’s a big gridball guy, and proudly supports the Zuzu City Tunnellers. He was there with his dad when they won the league a few years back.
Never let this man think you’re going hungry - he will turn up on your doorstep with a bag of groceries and half a dozen foil-covered dishes, no questions asked.
All of Joshua’s cows have southern belle names (Adelaide, Beatrice, Clementine, Delia…), and his bull is called Bruce.
Work permitting, Joshua tries to speak on the phone with his family at least once a week. He also writes them frequently, and mails photos of how things are going at the ranch.
He rescued his dog, Cricket, three years ago. She’s the ranch’s only other full time employee.

I'm currently trying to finish the first part of Chapter four of my Marlon redemption fic, and there is gonna be some memory stuff.
My best friend gave me some quotes from kids that she workes with in kindergarten.
And I made an incorrect quote board of it.
So now enjoy funny texts for the Ericson Kids. As kids.
Omar: "I'm sure you're good at something else... Just not cooking."
Violet: "Your taste is like sand feels between my teeth."
Brody: "No thanks, I don't want the egg. I don't want to hatch a baby chicken in my tummy. How would that even come out?"
Louis: "Cucumbers are pumpkins and pumpkins are yucky, so I'm not eating them."
Mitch: "I eat everything. I'm a machine. Just not..." *stares at plate* "...that."
Minnie: "Grandma always makes pudding. Mama said to always tell her we love it. But Mama feeds it to the dog when grandma doesn't look. So I feed mine to my brother. Same thing."
Marlon: *after getting told, that chocolate is from chocolate beans* "I want normal pudding! I HATE BEANS!!!"
AJ: "Yesterday, we ate ghost brokkoli." (It was califlower.)
Aasim: "I love pizza. Every pizza. I want pizza every day. But... Without Salami, and paprika, and corn, and... without ice cream." (Aasim, are you okay?)
Minnie: "My mommy gives milk from her to my little brother." *Whispering* "I think she hides a cow in her T-shirt."
Sophie: "My sister eats her salad with yucky grapes." *glares at the olives*
Aasim: "Salad doesn't grow on oaks. It's on palm trees!"
Marlon: "I want a treat. Our dog gets treats all the time, it's not fair."
Tenn: Why does the ice-cream taste so funny?" (It's mayonnaise, my friend.)
Ruby: "Mommy made hamster for breakfast." (Until this day, we don't know what the fuck she meant.)
Louis: "My dad is italian, so he always makes us gelatine." (He meant to say 'gelato'.)
Willy: "I made you a cake... but it moves..." (Built a sand cake, accidentally trapped a bug and thought he summoned numerous demons at once.)
Clementine: "Mom never makes me eat peas. They are evil. And sometimes they roll." (Yeah, how dare they.)
