All-Sexuality Support Group Meeting, A Classroom, Thursday After Classes
"So," Gabrielle began, already helping herself to a piece of coffee cake from the spread of pastries that made up today's snack table, "it looks like I missed out on an interesting experience this past weekend. There were a lot of pretty . . . unconventional families on the island, and it's good to know people took that more or less in stride. You know," she said, and you might as well just cue up the sappy orchestral score here, "a friend of mine says that some of us have families we were born into, and some of us have families that we make for ourselves, and neither one of those is any less real than the others. I know I believe it; she's as much family to me as mine is. Maybe more."
And you wonder why Emmett wonders about you, Gabrielle.
Emmett... didn't really wonder. But you just keep on believin', Gabs.
Oh, she would. She so would. Even though this wasn't a moment to bust out into Journey. (Luckily. You didn't want her singing.) "So what do you think? Is blood the defining thing that makes a family, or is the family you choose just as important?" She could go on in this vein forever if nobody stopped her.
"So today we're going to explore that question with movies! First up is an argument for blood being the defining thing: The Arkansas Weedwhacker Slaughter 3: Family Reunion!"
You were really trying to make a weekly thing of this, weren't you, Emmett? "I didn't mean it that literally," Gabrielle interjected, as sweetly as someone who was once again that close to throttling him could sound.
"I Dismember Mama?" he tried.1
Gabrielle poked a finger somewhere in the general vicinity of his nose. "Keep trying."
"Fricasseed Blue Potatoes?" He smiled disarmingly. He hoped.
". . . do we have any?" Congratulations, Emmett, that worked -- on both the disarming count, and the 'prove Gabrielle has no idea beyond the titles' count.
He pointed. "Right there in the DVD player." All along.
"Funny, Emmett. Very funny." Oh, look, the DVD remote. How convenient a thing to try to whack him with.
