Eh?! What are you doing here?

It had taken some time, but both of the kids had finally seemed to understand that this was a different and safe Momoko and that was a different but safe Fandom Island. Over lunch, they'd discovered that both children were refugees from the Fandom where Vampires had taken over and they were now living in Tokyo City with the Momoko who'd been to ( Read more... )

Momoko finished washing the last of the dishes with a sigh. She didn't want to be done! Not because she enjoyed it but because Jaime was out of his room! After dinner, he'd agreed to dry the dishes if she washed but Momoko was running out of ideas to keep him from just crawling back to his room and hiding until he was a boy again ( Read more... )

February was National Children's Dental Health Month. Momoko had not known this before, but judging from the fact that Jaime had actually joined his school's events committee specifically because of this, she was likely to be celebrating this 'holiday' a lot ( Read more... )

"That much?!" Momoko set her W-2s next to her 1099 from Oracle and sighed, scrolling down the IRS webpage. "Okay. 'Notice 2005-77 provides that a nonresident alien whose only U.S. source income is wages is not required to file a U.S. federal income tax return'," she read from the federal website, "'unless his U.S. source wages exceed the personal ( Read more... )
