Then don't end it. Leave us with a cliffie.

Actually there are two issues with the first statement - Was Will buying a car for Zach a mistake, and did he go about it the wrong way? Was it a mistake? We don't know yet - it might very well be but we need to wait and see if Zach gets into trouble with it, as his parents and Gathan seem to think he will. Was Will wrong in how he went about it? Hell Yes. He showed no respect for Wally and Clara's opinion on the subject, and in fact didn't even GET their opinion, but simply extrapolated what Gathan said to mean that the couple held exactly the same opinion. I live in the real world - to assume my 22 yr old daughters opinions exactly reflect mine would be a major mistake! Am I in the crowd that thinks he didn't make any mistakes with the car? Nope. Do I think this should be an earth shattering event that gets the kid condemned by every "adult" in his life? Nope. Mistakes are made - you learn from it - you move on. How can he learn from his "mistakes", if he doesn't see them as such? Simple - remember while it may be several weeks in our time - in Cap time this all went on in a matter of a couple days. Funeral, car, dinner making Austin uncomfortable and blow up over the car after, then off to Hawaii all in under a week. Will may not see it as a mistake YET. Have you discovered all your mistakes in life within minutes, or even hours of having made them? Sometimes it takes a while to come back and bite you in the ass, and some mistakes bite harder than others,

Is there something I am missing here? People make mistakes, sometimes quite juvenile mistakes, and those are not restricted to actual juveniles. My gram used to point out mistakes are necessary. The only shame is in not learning from them. So - Will makes mistakes. So do Brad, Stef, and even JP. Remember, he allowed Austin to be made to feel unwelcome at the dinner table. Clare and Isadore made mistakes with the Bastille day party. JJ and Marie ended up under psychiatric inpatient care because of mistakes. Why is it Will seems to be expected to live a mistake free, adult, never act like a kid life? The adults in the family aren't expected to.

Very true. We all seem to have one or two like that in the group somewhere. Thank you

As I said, it was originally meant for the anthology but had stalled and the one I did enter presented itself in my head. Thank you for taking the time to read and I am glad you enjoyed.

Kyle may have come out a little bruised, but he came out the better person too. As long as you and his parents keep standing with him he will be a fine young man. When my daughter was young she stood up for a smaller child being bullied and ended up suspended for a day due to a zero tollerance policy for violence. The same punishment the bully was given! I used the day to take her out and have a great time.

Thank you for taking the time to read it!

Who else can get under your skin better than family? Thank you.

Worse to be caught live in it! Thank you.

I just keep giggling at him being more "gay" than the gay brother!

Thank you Cole. Maybe it will help make tensions seem less at your next family gathering.

To quote an old line, "Please sir, may I have some more?"

LOL! Working in a QC lab for years I saw that random numbers sometimes are not so random!

You already know my opinion on the peice, so I will just add my voice to Mann, Joann, Lisa and the rest and say - keep writing wolf!

Thank you. Hopefully you have gotten to the point where you can look back and smile a little. Some of the "earth shattering" confrontations I remember being horrified at as a child are amusing now.

Yes - eventually we do find these things amusing. I always want to crawl under the table when someone goes where Richard was going tho, until my temper gets the better of me. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment.

Thank you Aditus. Don't let my imagination fool you - we talked about what to do with pests! LOL

Talk to the little voice Mann. My first attempt petered out before it went anywhere. If one of Waynes prompts hadn't wound it up again the antho's wouldn't have reached an even dozen.

nope. Hint - some will not consider it a movie ( if it isn't my apologies) and has been aired on TV every year since the early 60's

Where does dang bear get those emotes???? I'm with mann - i want! Thank you Renee! I hadn't even realize it went live till I got review notices! (rubs hands together) now - to charge the nook and curl up with a blanket on a cold night!

Seven to One, to One “Are you sure this is a good idea? Having my mom and dad at the same dinner table? I really do think you are asking for trouble.” Warren stared at his husband and wife with trepidation. “You both know neither one is particularly thrilled with our living arrangement. That’s bound to wind one of them up. Mom is convinced we are all going to hell over it - and dad, well; let’s just say he hasn’t forgiven your brother yet for tossing him out of the commitment-cerem

Some of Warren's family just don't understand the concept of Thanksgiving.

Christmas, yes. But santa is not the main chatacter.

nope. and nope. While similar comments may have been made in each, neither is the one I was thinking of. Hint - there was lots of snow when the line was uttered.
