Back to School Shopping
I was fortunate enough to have the day off today, and since all of the back-to-school sales were going on, I thought it would be the perfect time to take Celes back-to-school shopping for the first time. It was my first time as well, as I normally had to make due with what I had from the year previous.

I've done the "back to school" run for Albanion. He doesn't quite buy into the cute little lunchboxes and backpacks; he goes for the expensive things. As teenage boys do when they want to be popular. Of course, I never had to try, as I was the exotic exchange student, haha!
I wouldn't go and get her ears pierced just yet. Fran and I already came to the mutual decision that Violet won't be getting her ears pierced until she's at a suitable age. I'm thinking seven or older. But then again, she has her mother's ears and I don't know if piercings would suit...

Well, I wouldn't expect Albanion to really watch Nihao Kai-Lan or however you spell it. I don't understand a lot of it, but I'm not seven.
True, but high school doesn't really need "new" supplies. A few notebooks and some pens and he'll be all right. If he wants a graphing calculator, I can let him use one of my old ones. It'll be "retro" or whatever they're calling it now.
You were just interesting because you had a different accent. They were used to mine by then.
I wasn't thinking of it. She's far too young for the responsibility of constantly cleaning them, and she doesn't need to have an infected piercing. Those are absolutely horrible. I don't know how you even would go about piercing Violet's ears...although you should ask Albanion, I'm sure he's thought of it.

His idea of good television is whatever MTV tells him is good television. Were our minds this dominated by television when we were that age...?
You forget, my friend, my son doesn't come cheap. He insists on new supplies every school year. To make sure he gets it, he suitably wrecks his old things so they're beyond use and repair. Clever boy, I'll give him that.
I was just interesting because I'm just flat-out more interesting than you~
He probably has. I'm positive he's pierced already. In a place no one can see except whoever he shags (haha, been a while since I threw that word out...). You know where.

And not all of them are bad! The ones Celes' age are nice, but I'd give them two more years to see what they turn out like.
I don't think so, but I wasn't a television watcher as a child. I watched a lot of films, and listened to radio, but I wasn't one for the telly.
Does he, now? That is rather clever, but perhaps make him have a job and let him pay for his own supplies?
Oh, you were new and your clothes were just bizarre for that first week or so. You had the absolute worst hair I have ever seen your freshman year.
Oh, not that place! I've had and removed piercings all over, but that is the one place I could never pierce. That's just...painful!

Give them a couple of years and they'll be hooded little hoodlums shaking your house down for all the money and gold they can get.
I didn't even watch television until I started living with you! We didn't have one at home! We read books and recited poems and assorted high-society shit like that...
Have you not noticed your rabbit-eared paper boy? When he insisted on a seriously overpriced calculator for school, Fran insisted he get a paper route. And so, he's working now.
Of course I did! I looked like a goddamn page of a history textbook! It was horrific! Why do you think I get along with my father so poorly? He ruined my hair!
Boys will be boys, Luxord! Goodness knows I've been there and done that...~

They already do. A few of them are in the Scouts, and they know who to go to for cookie sales.
Ah. In that case, I much prefer my lower-class childhood, then. I read a lot, but I could still watch The Empire Strikes Back whenever I wanted to.
He has my old route? Interesting. He'll earn money, certainly, and it'll reset his internal clock. He's going to be waking up at 5 in the morning for quite a few years after.
You did, and thank heavens you cut that off. I am half-surprised you didn't have a powdered wig in some ornate box somewhere.
...You had that pierced, too?
