or you get him the new thing now and I can teach him how to use it instead of having him learn the old phone and then having to learn a different way all over again
also he wants games on his phone and probably one that plays music
trust me on this

[unpocoloco]

So the fact that he's a young version of me bears no impact on how well I might know the kid?
If there's an emergency and he needs to contact someone, I feel better knowing he's already got this phone figured out.
Do not tell me there is never going to be one.

But I'll hear you out for finding something that plays music.
What do you suggest?

[awooligan]

Mr. Rivera, just let him have two phones
besides, he's young and has young person brain
it's not going to take forever to show him how to call people

[unpocoloco]

[Implying he has an old person brain???]

I'll see about getting him another one.
But I don't know which phones do music best these days, I don't listen to music on a phone.
Oh, and do not let him leave the old one until he's absolutely figured out the new thing.
If you've got to put him on the spot with a test, do it.

[awooligan]

[It's either old person brain, dead person brain, or no brain at all. Choose your fighter, Héctor.]

apple made the dumbass decision to take out the headphone jack so unless you want to buy him bluetooth headphones a galaxy or pixel is probably better
apparently there's smartphones that fold up now, like samsung z flip

no worries, I got him covered

[unpocoloco]

[Rude, kid. But... also helpful.]

So it seems.
You two are getting along then?

[awooligan]

not my favorite, but he'll do while you've got her

we argued already but I'm working on getting it through his skull that it doesn't mean I'm ditching him
gotta love things we learned from shitty folks that were supposed to take care of us

[unpocoloco]

Ah, should I pass along your sentiments?

Good to cut that off at the pass.
I had a hard time arguing with friends, personally.
I let them convince me that what they wanted was the same as what I did.
He could use a little security.

[awooligan]

she should already know but if you want, sure

hey good news
I'm the best teacher for saying fuck it and doing what you want

so what's up with the weird fairy thing? Coco said you might adopt it?

[unpocoloco]

Consider it done.

Ha, that part is the easiest.
The true test is when what he wants changes and stops matching up.

Wist.
Their name is Wist.
No. Not Wist.
Mili.
They were a changeling child.
They deserved more than they got.
And two years ago, they caused some chaos bringing the children out hoping to break us free of our "boxes".
I did my best to explain why that wasn't a good idea and other things.
We became friends and
Well, they want to try again.
Without a terrible trade involved.
And hopefully better for them too.

[awooligan]

hey, Kevin is all about sharks and his cool brother at magic school even though he's afraid of monsters
I'm used to crazy kid logic

changelings are a real thing? no offense to them but fuck that
you must love your family getting bigger though
is Coco a big sister or a little sister?

[unpocoloco]

Sure. Crazy kid logic. We'll call it that.

Careful there.
You're at a school of all kinds that are indeed real.
You have to keep in mind that while taking a child from their parents is cruel,
What often happens to the child left in its place can sometimes be more so.
People will make a lot of excuses around child that isn't "theirs".
It's always good to be kind.


I am pretty happy about a bigger family though, yes
And exasperated as Imelda is, so is she.
We had always wanted...
Well, in any case, Coco is the big sibling of course.
Mili might be technically older in years but, as far as maturity, that doesn't say much with fae.

[awooligan]

[Ha. Doesn't he know it... There was a reason he made it clear to people that Carl was his stepdad and that he was in no way Carl's son.]

yeah whatever

I'll text her to welcome her to the big sib club later
assuming her phone wasn't taken away anyway, since you guys are grounded and all

[unpocoloco]

Rest assured.
She has her phone.
It's more the "not allowed to leave the house" grounded.
To be honest, neither of us are complaining.

[awooligan]

yeah that isn’t the worst punishment right now
