The Weight Of The World On Her Shoulders

[plumkebob]

...I... We're all alright, aren't we? We have jobs, and families now. My drone child seems to like me a lot, and maybe I like him too. It's nice to pretend to be a mother sometimes. I-I'm just tired though, working and taking care of a family is a lot of work... And I'm trying really hard to get along with the man that lives here, and to be nice

I don't know how useful I might be, but if you need it, I'll gladly help you.

I seem to have aquired a job too, so I'm sure we'll be fine money-wise.

[plumkebob]

You shouldn't have to though, that should be your spending money.

[clairvoyantbird]

I want to, then. There's not much here that I would want to spend the money on, anyway.

Plus, you can't be this family's only source of income. I highly doubt that man will be getting a job anytime soon.

[plumkebob]

Thank you... I really appreciate it.

He doesn't seem to have any interest in working, does he?

[clairvoyantbird]

No need to thank me.

He doesn't seem to have an interest in many things, it seems.

[plumkebob]

...Maybe he just needs some motivation?

[clairvoyantbird]

... Perhaps he does. Any suggestions?

[plumkebob]

I really don't know... But it might help if the television wasn't so readily available.

[clairvoyantbird]

Then we'll get rid of it. Simple.

I hope he's not too angry... But then again, he was complaining about the programming, so he can't like it too much!
