Oh I really liked this. How it's all kind of smart-alecky and just so Dean on the surface and then the further on you get it gives a little insight into just how he thinks of himself and where he fits in his family.

I am so happy you liked it and that the progression worked for you - thank you so much.

Dear Miss Kerning: Just sign me up for detention for the rest of semester.

Oh that was so Dean and funny and poignant. I loved it. I love the ultimate irony of the promt, because we already know, Dean's been changing the world since way before that essay popped up and he can't. Just like you had him write, he can't say, I already change the world. And the teacher is blind to how he truly is changing the world by how he relates to his family. Just because he's talking about them, he's showing how he is a part of that familial unit. To dismiss it so outright, is like dismissing the mother in a family unit. To say the stay at home spouse or main caregiver to the family/home side of the family is not working or not changing the very world by helping to define the people under their care and that defines them as well and it's this simbiotic relationship in which everyone influences who they are within that unit and who they will become. (did I get too involved in that

I just wanted to say I love your comment as I am a stay at home mom, it actually made me tear up a bit. *is overly emotional* But yeah, I always love a deeper look into Dean's psyche and your comment helped me enjoy the fic even more than I already did. :)

*hugs* Stay at home mom's so get the short end of the stick. I've seen it happen to friends of mine and it makes me so angry. Your job never gets a day off or an end of the work day and so often moms get cut off from adult interaction and they start to doubt their identity outside of their children and their job as maintainer of the corporation of the home. Best and most noble job in the world. I applaud you!!! And thank you, it made me smile that something I said affected you in a positive way. GO MOM!

Thank you for reading and thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful comment. I am glad the role of Dean - as caregiver - as important came over too. And hee, Dean doing his lines of 'I will not', I am glad that worked as funny!

I wouldn't like to be Dean's teacher! Thank you so for reading it hon!

[miconic]

Oh Dean. It's clear that in Dean's mind--no matter how wrong or right--he does not find himself separate from his family; his family defines him. Thanks for sharing the fic. The sporadic Sam appearances are just jems :)

[pheebs1]

Thank you so much! I am happy you liked it, hee, Sam can't resist butting in!
