OMG I LOVE THE MOONS! Both so awkward in their own special ways. I imagine Mrs. Moon looking like Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus.

And Vince's tale for Leroy - you are so fucking creative love. Be proud!

They're good people, Mr. and Mrs. Moon. MISS FRIZZLE, OH MAN XD

"Leroy’s allergic to corn"

:snorfle: I'm DYING here.

The Moons are fantastic. They even sound like him.

And I could totally see Howard telling his mum that he's going to marry Vince one day. In fact, I've had the same thought myself.

Looking forward to part 6! And rains in Africa - I see what you did there. ;-)

Aww shucks, glad you approve!

Yeah, I've maybe sort of been listening to that song on repeat since it found its way into this chapter...

Howard's parents are made of win! I would love to meet them!

And Howard telling his parents that he was going to marry Vince when he was six is just adorable!

I can't wait for the next chapter!

I reckon Mr. and Mrs. Moon are the sorts of nice folks where I could be their weird friend and go to pub quizzes with them.

Also yeah, I just had this mental image of him bouncing home after meeting Vince and being so happy that he'd announce to his mum they're going to get married when they grow up and yeah. You know, because that totally makes sense when you're six years old and you've just met the only other kid who isn't scared of your moustache.

I was having kind of a down weekend, and this chapter is exactly what I needed to put a big silly grin back on my face! It's the perfect combination of eee, aww, and hee, and I loved every word of it. :D ( ... )

Aww *hughughughughughughughughughughug* YOU'RE AWESOME.

Clusterfuck is my favourite word ever. I'd say Marva's a lovely girl, but I can't understand a word she says. I loved getting to write for Leroy (he's awesome!) and Mr. and Mrs. Moon (they're awesome!) so I'm really glad it rang true to you. Because I mean, as far as things that Howard should never have to think about, a) the fact that his parents know he's had sex; and b) the fact that his parents have sex, are definitely in the top five. Poor creature. But they love him, and they teach geography. WHY ARE YOU SO NICE TO ME?

They really do love each other. It's inspiring and fills my heart with joy, even though I'm writing it, you know? It's all them and their love. (And the fact that if Howard were to reveal to Vince that they're both like 35 ferchrissakes, Vince would probably go catatonic)

Also you are lovely and thank you and THANK YOUUUUUU.

I read this through. There, are, no, words to describe how much I love this. Literally.

I just love the whole thing and Howard's mum is the best thing I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Poor Howard, his mum could come into any room and make it the most awkward place in the world just by saying something like "So... how's everyone's sex lives?" 'cause that's just what people like her do.

The little story is perfect on so many different levels but the "Leroy's allergic to wheat" bit just killed me.

And Howard being all comfort-y and stroppy at the same time is so darn cute I just wanna hug him or something!

doctorpancakes July 20 2011, 19:23:57 UTC

Aww, thanks muchly!

Mrs. Moon is lovely; I imagine she drinks white wine at jazz festivals and has the television permanently tuned to the Subtitled Film Channel. That said, I don't think Mrs. Moon is totally tactless: she wouldn't just ask anyone how their sexual health is going, but it's different when it's your own kid ;)

BAHAHAHAHA! Indeed, apparently once it's your own kids you have perfect right to embarrass them in the most inappropriate and outlandish way possible!

But what would I know about other humans, my very dark humoured father is from the dear north and has lovingly passed all of the bad genes onto me. Unbridled joy!
