Business 101, Monday [4-13] First Period

[notanactualfairy]

Jean-Paul wasn't behind his desk today. He stood beside it, rather. Behind his desk, sitting on a couple of phone books, was a little girl with brown hair and very blue eyes. Jean-Paul had raided the art supplies, and Joanne was very intent on some project involving construction paper and glitter.

Joanne liked glitter.

"This is Joanne," he informed the class. "She is my daughter. I will entertain no questions about her, and if you make her cry you will fail this class, and also life. There is paper and crayons for any children you may have brought with you." They could not have Joanne's glitter. "Your assignment for today is to lay out how your business deals with children. In the workplace, as customers, whatever. Bon chance."

"Daddy's name is Loki," Gabby said. "He's an angel. Mommy's human though, so I'm only half angel. But I gots wings! Does your daddy have wings?"

"Nooooooo," Joanne said. "Papa doesn't need wings. Or he's too fast for them. I forget which." Joanne wrinkled up her nose. "Loki is a bad guy."

"My daddy's not a bad guy!" Gabby protested.

"Is so!" Joanne insisted. "One time he made Papa think he was a fairy. Papa's not a fairy! And and and sometimes, he fights Thor." Joanne liked Thor. He talked funny.

"My daddy doesn't even know no one named Thor," Gabby insisted.

"...oh. Maybe he's a different Loki?"

Gabby shrugged. "Guess so. Cause my daddy's not a bad guy. Even though he says bad words a lot."

"Papa says sometimes bad words are useful. But I shouldn't use 'em 'til I'm big. Even in French."

"Mommy says that Daddy's a bad 'fluence and should clean up his lang'age," Gabby said.

"Tante Jeanne-Marie says that about Papa." She paused, then added, "Tante 'Rora only laughs.

"Daddy laughs when Mommy says that," Gabby said. "But I try to help and 'mind him when he says bad words."

Joanne pretty much thought her papa was the best person in the whole world, but, "Sometimes I have to tell Papa not to make people cry. He's good at that."

Gabby nodded. "Yeah, my daddy is mean sometimes too and I gotsa remind him that he's an angel and he's 'posed to be good."

"Papa doesn' have that problem." Joanne wordlessly offered Gabrielle a tube of glitter glue.

"Thanks!" Gabby said, smearing the glitter glue all over her picture.
