Hah. I am calling my eons-old timestamp meme done after this (but only because
a-loquita let me off the hook for one of her prompts way back when). This one was for
silerswench's request for something the next day after

Carter talking the heads off generals at BBQs when she was a kid! Still as weird as always! Jack takes being compared to Jacob as a compliment! And this: See, I keep thinking if I pretend I'm not actually one of you, they'll take 'em back.

I loved the glimpse of Little!Carter, already forming up into the Carter Jack knows and loves. Her poor mother was trying to fight/smooth her basic nature! That's a pretty hopeless task, ultimately.
And as to the summons to dinner, Jack would be well advised to remember the words of one of the Catos (I think it was Cato the Elder, but I'm too lazy at this hour to look it up): We rule Rome, Rome rules the world, and who rules us? Our wives!
