I notice that Grandma Lilly is not talking down to the wee one. She may not be setting the best example, but I bet she is not only heard but listened to as well.

Lily sounds like she is either drunk or very low on energy. Wonder if she hasn't had anyone to drink lately.

We need McBride for a 2nd opinion.

Lily looks like a bit of a burn-out here.

I don't think Dylan (the pizza delivery girl) still works there any more. That's an awful long time to deliver pizza.

Indeed.

On the other hand, it does look like Castela is a firm believer in the "Divide and conquer" strategy for getting what you want when you're being told otherwise...

Both of my granddaughters tried that on me a few times when they came to live with us.

"What did your mommie say?"

...

"Right. That's what i say too."

Unless, of course, she's related to Mercury. That gremlin may just be the modern manifestation of G'pas magic sneakers.

Good Lord, the whole female cast is here! I wonder if we're going to see Doubt and some of Monica's other demons manifest in swimsuits, too!

Speaking of swimsuits, I bet Suzy wears a sensible one piece with reinforcing. Or something so brief it's strings.

Bia and Phix staring at each other. Monica and Suzy comparing sizes. From behind an oblivious Bia, clawed hands reaching for her neck. Stinky shows up and freaks everyone out but Bud and Jin. Phix holding Bia's head underwater so she can't breathe while counting down all the events in her son's life she missed as a way of demonstrating to Bia that not having what you want really makes time drag. Someone gives Castela a donut and the sugar rush starts her changing into something scary. A single panel of Phix, fist drawn back and other hand holding Bia up off the ground by her hair, about to punch the Titan so hard she flies to another island.

Yes, I STILL think Phix and Bia have unresolved issues. Child form or not.

It is totally a Grandma's right to spoil the little rug rats and then hand them back to Mom. Cookies, sweets, and other nice things are wonderful ways to do this too. So Grandma's, and Grandpa's, do not have to set examples for the grand kids. Asking us to is also a waste of time. We did our time as examples and having to raising our own kids. Now we get a chance to be ourselves and just love them to extremes and spoil them. lol.

That is exactly how it works! (At least in my experience.) 8-)
