Thank you! I love working with this Treat. Pockies are harder than I remembered.

And yeah, that's what the teacher said that pissed Gail off so much. She is Not Okay with people implying that there is something wrong with her children, under any circumstances at all, particularly when they're trying to make simple difference seem like a character flaw.

Thank you!

I read a lot of pieces about Summer and I love them. I love this too and how supportive Gail is with her daughter. It's so sweet. Lovely job!

[bookblather]

Thank you very much! Gail loves her children, just the way they are.

Aww, Gail's support of Summer is adorable and what the perfect mother should be like. ;u; Summer seems like an interesting character; I can totally identify with how you described her here. but, anyhow, lovely writing here, Gail is awesome. <3

Gail takes her kids as-is and loves them very much. Thank you!

*grins* Really nicely done. Hate it when people say "there's something wrong with [your kid]". Usually means there's something wrong with them ;)

[bookblather]

Word. Especially because they usually mean "there's something about [your kid] I don't like." It's just not at all cool.

Thank you!

Wonderful. There's definitely not anything wrong with her. Different, yes; wrong, no. Mothers know.

[bookblather]

EXACTLY. THIS.

Thank you!
