7th Smile

[keep_smiling]

[BACKDATED to Father's Day Sunday because I'm a failure]

[Elmer knows what today is. His drone children woke him up to celebrate early this morning. And since Mother's Day was the day women had to listen to men... Now it's the other way, right?

It doesn't take long for him to figure this out. Time to use it for his advantage.]

[Action A: HELLO, LADIES. You're being followed by one (1) Smile Junkie. He's not trying to be sneaky or anything, but he is seems to be closing in on you. If you don't turn around to say something to him first, eventually, he'll be right in front of you, or keeping pace.]

Hi, there! Lovely day, wouldn't you say?



[Hey Grell. Grell. Where aaaaare you Grell. Not!hubby wants to talk.]

[Oh Elmer, she'd be frenzying on you SO HARD if the day had left her capable of it. Her smile just gets wider, instead. And she starts to shake a little. Is it with joy? Yes. Let's go with that.]

Yes, yes! I absolutely agree. I've certainly loved, and I've certainly lost.

But you have the memories, and you can smile about it. That's great! I never even knew my dad, so be glad you got to have that experience.

Aah, aaah, there's my dad, and then there's Father. [Up goes an index finger, to scold him gently.] Although it's a pity you never knew yours... father figures are important.

It's alright! I had my mother and a lot of other people around, so I'm still very lucky.

You are, you are... we have to count our blessings, don't we!
