You know, I've never really had a mother or a father. I mean surely I must have, at some point, but it's been so long now that I can't recall.

I don't know why I've been thinking about it so much lately. I've got sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers on the brain lately! It's very curious. Oh, but I've already got a little brother. Does this mean I'm going to have another?

It would be nice, I think. Delicious home-cooked meals and hugs and warm happy feelings all the time. ...Perhaps I'd get sick of it though. It might get a little boring.

Do all you have mothers and fathers? What's it like? I'd love to know.

You want to know about my parents?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Of course! I've never had any of my own, so I'm very curious about it.

So, what's it like? You can tell me; it's okay!

[seekthebird.livejournal.com]

...No.

This better not be about bringing our families here.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

What's wrong? You don't like your family? Is having parents a bad thing after all?

[thinkin-man.livejournal.com]

It's a shame you have no family here, but family isn't just left up to genetics.

I don't remember my parents, either. I'm proud to be a father though.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's true. My brother and I might be related but I'm not really sure. I can't remember.

You're a father? That's just wonderful! What's it like?

[in-ocean-depths.livejournal.com]

Mothers and... fathers?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

They're the people who made you, or the people who raised you. Something of that sort anyway. At least, that's what I've heard.

[utopiansister.livejournal.com]

I don't really think my family is a very good example. Actually, I'm not entirely sure it qualifies as a "family" either, but I guess it's close enough.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Why not? What's your family like?

[b-loodflower.livejournal.com]

We had another brother. He was older than us, but he had a really girly name.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Did he really? How peculiar! Do you remember what it was?

That makes me really lucky then. Imagine that! Two brothers I never knew about before I met you!

[born-from-mist.livejournal.com]

Uhm... I-I had a grandpa.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

What's a grandpa? Is it grand?

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

I like, never had a family. Totally don't need one! The Church raised me fine.

[...The other Slavs are cray-cray, a'ight? Boy doesn't want anything to do with them.]

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

So the Church are your parents then? That's rather interesting!

[kindly-done.livejournal.com]

My mother and father are dead. I...have five little girls of my own.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Oh! You must be another father then! I've learned a lot about those today. Do you like it much?

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

I don't have any parents.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you could find some?

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

I've had three "fathers". But two of them were... step-fathers.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

What is a "step"-father? That hardly sounds like a good name at all. It sounds like people would go about stepping on them all the time, and that would just get uncomfortable.

[helena-campbell.livejournal.com]

I don't think my family is really full of warm feelings like that.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

How come? Are they cold, or luke-warm then? Or burning?

[dontrainonmy.livejournal.com]

I have two wonderful, loving fathers.

I have met my mother though...

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

You have two fathers? I didn't know you could have that many! That must be lovely, especially to have two fathers and a mother.

[other-father.livejournal.com]

Oo-hoo!~ This event sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.

Well, kiddo, I don't have a mother or father myself, but I'm everyone else's Other Father! Fun and happy to play games and make toys and play with the children.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Are you really? Does that mean you're my Other Father too?

[no_no_badtouch]

You have a dad and mom. That bitch just took the memory away.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

I really haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about whatsoever.

[idkmybfftony.livejournal.com]

I have brothers.
