Inflatables

February 7, 2024November 26, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah and Frank are digging out the big box of Christmas lights. Agnes has her coat on and says to Frank, "OK, we're going antiquing. Make sure you keep things tasteful with the lights." Frank replies, "Yes, dear" while Noah grins slyly and says nothing. Once Agnes has left, Frank turns to Noah and says, "Alright, the wives are gone. Go get the giant tacky inflatables." Noah smiles and says, "On it!"

  You just know that as soon as Agnes returns and is annoyed, Frank is going to try to say the inflatables were Noah’s idea.

Countdown

February 7, 2024November 25, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is in the kitchen, making sweet potato fries. Ursula comes in with her school backpack, scowling. Noah asks her, "Hi, honey! How was school?" Ursula snarls, "Boring! Nothing but math and social studies and spelling!" Noah smiles and replies, "Well, you have a couple days off." Ursula rolls her eyes and says "And then 9 years, 7 months, and 5 days." (ie, til she graduates and is free of school). Noah says, "I'm surprised you don't have it down to the minute." Ursula replies, "That would be too much math."

  Apparently no one ever told Ursula that there are countdown apps that will do that math for her.

Happy Thanksgiving!

February 7, 2024November 24, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ruth and Agnes are drinking coffee at Agnes' kitchen table. In the background we see Noah and Frank sitting on the antique sofa, sleeping. Ursula comes up to Ruth and Agnes and points at her dad and granddad and says, "OK, they're asleep. Now can we order pizza?"

  Noah and Frank are in food comas and Ursula wants pizza… again… happy Thanksgiving!

Seek & Destroy

February 7, 2024November 23, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula is watching Noah's cover band rehearse in the garage. She interrupts to ask, "Can you guys play 'Seek & Destroy'?" Noah leans down to tell Ursula, "This is Daddy's U2 tribute band, honey. We don't play Stooges songs." Annoyed, Ursula says, "I was talking about Metallica." Confused, Noah scratches his head and asks, "Since when do you like Metallica?" Ursula replies, "Since Duke said he'd disown me as his sister if I didn't agree that the first four Metallica albums are the greatest ever made." Noah is seething and tells Ursula "Duke's not allowed to disown you. Especially since we all know the four greatest albums ever made are '1984', 'Achtung Baby', 'Theater of Pain', and 'Slippery When Wet'... the Japanese version with the original wet t-shirt cover."

  Noah discovers to his dismay that he may not be the biggest influence on Ursula’s musical taste.

Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad

February 7, 2024November 21, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Ursula seizes the opportunity to get homework answers while Noah is distracted helping his drummer set up for rehearsal.

Ursula might have gotten a wrong answer from Noah, but at least she didn’t have to bother Googling the answers.

Ursula on Watch Duty

February 7, 2024November 19, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Agnes gets Ursula to stand guard at the top of the stairs. (Er, sit guard.)

Grandma Agnes needs that extra five bucks for gambling… or maybe she’s just cheap.

No Deal

February 7, 2024November 18, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah tells Ursula that she'll be being babysat. They also talk about spitball lessons, but can't agree on the profit spitting.

Ursula still hasn’t learned that half of something is better than all of nothing.

Noah the Muffin Man

February 7, 2024November 16, 2022 by Pyra Draculea
Noah brings a tray of fresh muffins to his in-laws' doorstep to bribe his way into some babysitting.

Noah knows exactly how to bribe his way into getting what he wants, and Frank is very, very bribeable.
