That is really the highest praise, and I thank you so much for it. I wanted them to be themselves.

Wow, it's awesome that your childhood was that cool. My childhood wasn't really anything like that, I had to get my rural rambles out in high school and college (and I did, whoo boy.)

Thank you so much. :)

XD; I was a military brat so we moved a lot... but every time we visited my grand parents (they live on a farm) and all of my cousins/aunts. It was just like this. <3 Not sure I got in many fist fights tho... I think I got into a couple of hair pullers with the cousins tho. XD;

XD; I'm glad you had fun in HS and Uni tho! ;)

Hair pulling! Ha, who hasn't. Childhood rite of passage, probably. ;)

Ohmygosh. This is just too cute, too beautiful, and so clever! I've read it about three times, possibly four.

....sdlkajrlgh;ljsd.

Why is it that everything you write, no matter how seemingly cracky or absurdly AU it is, brings a little tear to my eye?

Baby!Rose is so fierce and amazing.

I'd leave a longer comment, but my spacebar is acting up.
