Everyone Knows, Daddy.

Noah is shocked to learn that Ursula already knows all about Granny Thorsen's gator poaching.

Can’t complain about being out of the loop if you don’t read the loop newsletter, Noah.

The Awkwardness Continues

February 7, 2024February 2, 2024 by Pyra Draculea

Noah and Ursula's awkward conversation about bad behavior continues.

See, this is why you don’t talk without your lawyer present, Ursula. Better yet, don’t talk at all.

We Need to Talk

Noah pulls Ursula aside to talk about morals and his mother's lack thereof, but Ursula misunderstands and ends up telling on herself.

Ursula and Noah need to talk, but more importantly, they ought to actually listen, too.

Playing Chicken

Noah is giving Valerie her bottle and Frank comes up with a coffee cup and says, "Alright, Agnes went to the salon. What's the intel?" Noah smiles and says, "We can have up to 10 hens. Minimum coop size is 40 square feet, but I think we should make it at least 8x8." Frank smiles and replies, "Plenty of room next to the pool." Noah continues, "And the run should be at least 100 square feet. More is better." Frank says, "Like I said." Noah then says, "In theory we get 10 eggs a day for most of the year." Frank smiles and says, "Let's do it... next month when Agnes goes to Vegas with her sisters." Noah replies, "Roger that." Meanwhile Valerie yanks a lock of Noah's hair and pokes him in the throat. Noah says to Valerie, "Ow! Valerie, don't pull Daddy's hair." Frank then says, "Yeah, that's how I lost mine."

Noah and Frank are plotting to get free eggs… well, free after the cost of the coop, the run, the hens, the feed… Meanwhile, Valerie is practising her assassin moves for when she’s big enough to actually be dangerous.

The Cooking Lesson

Noah tries, unsuccessfully, to coach Ursula into learning to cook.

In Ursula’s defence, some of us didn’t learn to cook til we were in our 30s.

The Dad Tax

Ursula comes to Noah looking for candy, only to find Noah's been eating her Halloween haul.

Today’s the day that Ursula learns about taxation. And the Dad Tax is always worse when you question his tales of his own trick-or-treat efforts as a kid.
