[sighs and shakes her head] Ed, it's just milk. You'll never grow any bigger if you don't start drinking it.

[nearerthesun]

What did you just say?

[bibliospazz]

[looks at him a little nervous. She's fairly certain he's going to shout at her for implying he might be just a tad on the small side]

You need to drink milk. It's good for the development of your bones, Ed.

[nearerthesun]

My bones are plenty strong! And height has nothing to do with drinking milk, it's all genetics!

[bibliospazz]

... Your father's not short. Neither is Al. [remembers the Al and Hohopapa from her reality]

[nearerthesun]

Recessive genes. Are you seriously trying to piss me off?

[bibliospazz]

You eat ice cream don't you? That's just frozen milk with a little bit of salt, sugar and flavoring.

[nearerthesun]

No. Ice cream gives me a headache.

[bibliospazz]

Oh well, I guess not everyone can be as tall as the Tringhams.

[nearerthesun]

What was that?!

Russel's a freak of nature, that's the only possible explanation!

[bibliospazz]

Ed, Russel's actually pretty average for a boy his age. ... Isn't he younger than you too?

[nearerthesun]

NO, HE'S NOT!

IF HE SAYS HE'S FOURTEEN HE'S LYING. HE'S GOT TO BE LIKE NINETEEN OR TWENTY.

[bibliospazz]

[has missed the Ed tantrums, finds them endearing actually- even if loud and occasionally annoying]

I'm pretty sure he's not lying Edward.

[nearerthesun]

If he's not lying he's a freak! It's one or the other, Scieszka!

[bibliospazz]

He's not a freak. He's nice.

[nearerthesun]

Where did you get a stupid idea like that?!
