Meet The Parents

[i_got_5_meters]

The Riech of RISK has finally fallen! Vati finally lost a match of RISK. HA!

Birdie...you have no idea what the fuck you've just gotten yourself into. Expect him to come knocking on the door at some odd hour of the day carrying the game with him and demanding a rematch. Or he might just page you to the office during class or something. He's never

Oh watching Al go down in flames was perhaps one of my most fondest memories now. He can no longer gloat about being undefeated. ;)

And hey those pictures are ADORABLE! I took them all. You have to show your Eddy-kins times when you were an innocent little fittizio Bambino! I'll bet you his mother is already digging out the photo albums too for your visit.

It is a Parent's job to show ALL THE BLACKMAIL WE HAVE and if they stay with you, they really do love you.

But he enjoyed them and smiled and laughed and your Vati and I think very, VERY Highly of him. We think some strange cosmic alignment may have meddled in this rather STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION but we approve, you haven't had a proper detention (Other than for standing up to bullies where you know officially we had to give you detention, but as you Vati's we are proud you protected him and stood up in his defense.)

And Al is still fuming in the other room, the risk board is still set up on the table and he is studying the final maneuvers to figure out a rematch strategy. Expect him with an evil frightening grin (You got that from him!) and a board game and a heavy handed knock on your door soon son. Warn the others they may be pulled into a game.

He may not like the Swede much, he's nearly as brilliant as Eduard and he often thinks outside the box. The Norwegian is way up there too in craftiness and stoic determination.

He make walk away UTTERLY DEFEATED. (Unless Mathias plays and Al may come in second to last, that's good enough!)

I'll bring the snack and enjoy the show! HA HA!

...Eddy-kins??? Was zur hölle? I'm not sure if I can admit to any family ties to you after that one. You're such a sap.

Ja, he did seem to have a good time, didn't he? I'm surprised you two didn't chase him off with the whole "proud parent blackmail" stuff. And I don't even know what the hell I did right to convince him to say yes and to keep my pasty ass around for this long, but he's still here, I'm still here and that's got to count for something, right?

And tell Kaiser he's a fucking cockblock. That damned dog got up on the bed and pushed me out of the way when I was trying to work my awesome magic and I ended up having to sleep on the other side of the stupid bed. Those dogs like Birdie way too much.

Hey, I had to get SOMETHING from Vati, right? Too bad I got his creepy ass maniac grin. It IS good for scaring the shit out of people though. Kesesesesesese...

[marcus_roma]

who did you think sent Kaiser in? I'm still your Vati-Marc. It's my job to insure the boy I changed DIAPERS on and potty-trained does not do adult type touching under my roof until I see wedding bands. (Or at least an engagement set of rings on fingers. what you do under your roof I have no say over...

Al was crying over his grown up babies. (and his losses) If you think I don't block Ludwig and Feli too, you have another thing coming.

[i_got_5_meters]

Does the plastic ring part of a Ring Pop count? I still have that and the paper plate kicking around from that boat trip.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Blocking bruder from getting his giant mits on Feli would be HILARIOUS! Now THAT is something I might end up teaming up with you on sometime.

[marcus_roma]

NO.

REAL.

END OF DISCUSSION.

[i_got_5_meters]

Alright, alright. No molesting the Eesti over there then.

[darth_eduard]

Gil, don't try and make yourself seem like some poor starving creature deprived of attention because you're not. You should be perfectly capable of keeping yourself under control for a night every so often.

[darth_eduard]

Thank you for the thoroughly enjoyable evening and the fantastic dinner, ummm...what precisely should I call you now? I can't rightly go around calling you by your occupational title anymore at the risk of sounding too awkward and formal, now can I? Should I call you by your first name, or something else that might work? All that aside, I had a great time. It's good to know that you both are okay with this, and I'm seriously flattered that you both hold me in such high esteem. I didn't do anything to deserve it, but thank you just the same. Thank you for having me over. Did you cook all that wonderful food yourself?

And Gilbert, he's right. Those pictures were so adorable I think I may have to schedule a dentist appointment to see about some cavities. I saw that text message with the little lederhosen and chicken onesie, but you didn't tell me that you were ALWAYS such a cute little white ewok growing up.

Oh goodness...If I know my Ema, she is most definitely planning a similar blackmail venture. She has been waiting for a chance like this for years. She'll get over being deprived of grandbabies in time, but unfortunately for myself I think it may make her even more ruthless in just how far into the embarrassing pictures she is willing to go.

I tried not to be too heavy handed or excessive in my RISK playing. Was it really THAT bad of a defeat? If his title means that much to him, he is welcome to attempt a rematch and I may go a little easier on him if you think I should.

And Gil...really? Jealous of the dogs? Come on now. We were at your parent's place anyway so it's not like anything would have happened even if you hadn't been forced to the other side of the bed.

[marcus_roma]

Vati or Vati-marc is Fine, everyone else calls me Grandpa, but you are dating my son. You know I hate formalities.

Oh I am so going to tell AL you were going EASY ON HIM... And watch him bust a vein. You are guaranteed a re-match now the minute I tell him,

I did cook, and I will bring canolis and a big bowl of my famous spaghetti and we can all eat while I VIDEO RECORD THIS ALL!!!!

Don't you dare go easy on him, he likes a good head to head and a challenge.

Beat him good!

[darth_eduard]

Okay. I'll stick with calling you that then. And no special treatment in classes or anything either on account of being associated with Gilbert. I know you wouldn't do it anyway, and I expect no less. An education isn't worth it without a challenge.

Kallis jumal...you're actually going to tell him? It seems like I have may have a rival of sorts now. Hopefully it doesn't ruin my approval rating.

And what are canolis? I don't believe I've had one of those before. But if you're making it, then I know it'll be delicious and that you won't try to poison me. Who would keep Gil in line then, am I right?

Okay, I won't go easy on him although I get the feeling you are encouraging that less for the fact that he enjoys a challenge and more for the eventuality that he will require someone to tend to his wounds.

[marcus_roma]

Dear sweet boy, we don't have to give special favors. You have an amazing mind.

And I am talking to the science department TOMORROW, I had not realized you were DOING THEIR JOBS I thought (and they told me) you were doing extra credit work.

But WRITING THE ASSIGNMENTS, GRADING PAPERS etc... is NOT EXTRA CREDIT it;s you working a full time job in addition to being a Full Time Student.

It stops. TOMORROW.

I don;t mind you tutoring students if you *WANT* to, but I am no longer paying people who allow their work to be done by you. It is OVER. You're so young ENJOY LIFE right now.

Once you graduate we will have a long, long talk my boy about your future,

No Al loves a challange even if he is a sourpuss.

and as for CANNOLIS

GOOGLE it or just ask Gilbert what they are. I'm sure he will go on at great length about Cannoli's. They are his favorite things I make him for Christmas and His Birthday. He prefers them to my Tiramisu Cake.

Let me know your favorite flavors.
Chocolate
Vanilla
Strawberry
banana
raspberry
orange
or coconut

and any combination you can make.

Gilbert Loves Strawberries and Bananas one day
the next add Chocolate sauce on top the next he's wanting Chocolate with chocolate chips and hazelnuts.

[darth_eduard]

Goodness...once I stop doing all their work, I won't know what on earth to do with all of that free time. Simply loafing around does not seem like a very constructive activity, and one can't have nerf battles in the yard everyday. I don't think Gilbert and Mathias's fragile egos could handle the constant losses.

I do, however, worry about the younger kids and whether or not they will be getting the same quality of work after tomorrow when the teachers take over again. I may still pop in and help them out on occasion. There's still one project I would like them to start on before I relinquish control. Gil is helping me herd ducks into various shapes at the park to teach the younger kids about coming up with theories and testing them. It's actually quite fun.

I am fairly certain that I have enough credits to graduate early, but I was still planning to at least take a light courseload of maybe a few university prep classes next year just to give me some spare time to help Gil with whatever he might have planned and so I can graduate with Ti. Whatever this long long talk is about, I am certain that you'll know where to find me.

Jumal küll! That looks delicious! You, sir, are shaping up to be the new best friend of my sweet tooth. I LOVE pretty much any flavour paired with chocolate, though I particularly enjoy hazelnut (I LOVE Nutella!), orange, raspberry, and coconut. And yes, Gil does seem to change his mind about food as often as a small child. It makes deciding where to go out for dinner quite the planning venture.

[i_got_5_meters]

Oh hell JA! Vati-Marc, I'm cool with you coming over now if you bring me some canolis. Those things are the SHIZ-NITE! Bavarian cream with chocolate chips!!

You seriously need to make a whole crap ton of them and bring them to the house. No letting anyone else know. These are just for me and Birdie. I don't usually share these, but he's an exception.

Birdie, you're going to fucking LOVE these. Vati-Marc makes the BEST canolis.

Oh! That reminds me. You, me, dinner friday night at the house. Won't tell you what I've got planned though. It's a surprise.
