Your wives, what could they have done to keep the marriage going? What would you have wanted them to do? How would you have wanted them to act?

*blinks*

Have you been talking to Djinn tonight?

[deelaundry]

No - What's up?

Here.

Scroll down just a bit and you'll see Djinn's question. The House-hivemind strikes again. Or not. Your phrasing reminded me of her reply.

It does sound similar, doesn't it? Funny how coincidences work.

How does this section sound? I'm open to concrit - comment or email.

Thanks!

This is so enjoyable. Love the dynamic between the boys and Mary's perspective on it. Bayith was a nice touch, it's like a mix of all three of his parents backgrounds. There's some great banter here, but this line was a real gem: "It’s more correct to use the preferred term, ‘people with fuckheadedness.’” Great stuff. :)

Thanks! It's tough to get caught up in that dynamic, but with encouragement from Wilson (and Jack choosing her over Church in the incident here), she'll be fine.

xaipw and I were discussing "people first" language a while back, and it definitely struck me as something Church would take a poke at. : )

Church Bayith.

You, girl, are beyond brilliant.

I love Mary, I really do. So lucky, getting to spend time with all these H/W spawn. And Wilson's MIL advice? So sweet. Can't wait for the next part.

Cam someone please explain the Bayith thing. Confused Antipodean here.

Love the crazy crazy world you have going... reminds me of something: oh yes - real life.

It's explained in Chapter 7. You don't want me to spoil you, do you?

Ok, fine. Go here: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~emcd/index17.htm and read the first sentence. (Site content not relevant to the discussion.)

Eep! I replied, not knowing it was a spoiler. Deleted, sorry. Although... now I see that you actually linked to the same definition I said, so never mind :-)
