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.

I'm not sure. I was thinking about looking in the gardens...

[ ...wait, what. ]

Try the bathrooms, too. They're probably there.

[ /sarcasm. ]

I suppose they could be! I imagine they would smell something awful though. Garden parents would smell lovely.

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

Obviously. Depends on your preference, I guess.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

I think I'd prefer my parents to smell like roses, or tea. Or maybe the ocean. Perhaps they're on the beach somewhere.

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

Perhaps they are. The ocean smells good.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps there are parents for you in the ocean as well!

I'm not a whale.

But yes, you're right. Though, I don't think I want them.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Why not? You could find some interesting parents!

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

I'll pass. As I said before, I'm fine without any parents. Good luck finding yours, though.

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really think you'll find some soon too. I have a very good feeling about it.

[crymogaea.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[ Pause for thinking. ]

What do you mean?

We should all be a big family here, I think. It would be nice, don't you think so? The thought just sort of fluttered into my mind, and now it doesn't want to leave one bit. Not that I really mind.

I...don't think so. It'll be weird...I already had a "family" back home, anyway. But no parents, yes.
