Don't forget, everyone, it's popcorn and dessert dinner tonight! Rose, I thought perhaps it would be a good idea for Victor to pick the movie this time. I'd rather your father didn't have to cut tentacles off the television again. Anyone have any preferences for ice cream or toppings? We're running low on chocolate chips, so I thought I'd replenish the supply. Oh, and strawberries, now that they're in season.

Tentacles? uh I'm not recommending watching anything like that.

We have family movie nights?

I think you missed the last one... Weren't you playing with Nathan that evening? Something about a sleepover and video games?

Or is there something you ought to be telling me...?

dios mio Can you not call it 'playing'?? And no!!

Ah, that's right. It's 'hanging out', now, isn't it. Much more grown up. I do try to keep them all straight, but the terms get away from me. You were sure to thank Nathan's mother for letting you stay the night, weren't you?

How old am I supposed to be here?

I know, you're in your twenties now, I should really try to let go, but you'll always be my precious little boy. I can't help it! But I'll try to get better about that. I'm sorry.

Alright for starters we're men, proper manly MEN we don't have sleepovers, and for the last fucking time I DON'T HAVE A MUM HERE

Nathan, really, there's no need to shout. I know that Elsa raised you better than that.

Trust me love, she didn't raise me and even if she did it wouldn't have been better than that.

Well of course not, dear. The tentacles were an unintended side-effect.

Right, obviously.

I don't know. Tentacles are kind of interesting. It's 3D to a whole new level.

I should have known you enjoyed it! Could we settle for something less likely to kill us all? Really, I think it would be much less alarming if it were a deer, or a dog. Are we sure it was the DVD and not something living in the television?

Pretty sure there's a monster in the television.

Ah... perhaps it's good that we were in the market for a new one anyway.
