The BEST meta I've had in a long time.

midhenaer: Alex: Excuse me, what are you wearing, young lady?
cesontmesmots: She looks old for fifteen.
cesontmesmots: Susan: But Daddy lets me wear it! *is spoiled*
midhenaer: Alex: ...Francis would.
cesontmesmots: Susan: What is that supposed to mean? *pout*
midhenaer: Teagan: But um, Susan... You know... teenaged boys, they um... they...
cesontmesmots: Susan: They what?
midhenaer: Alex: They... they... oh hell, go ask your aunt.
midhenaer: BOYS you're such chickens.
cesontmesmots: Susan: AUNT AMELIA!!! UNCLE ALEX AND UNCLE TEAGAN ARE PICKING ON ME.
midhenaer: Teagan: ! We are not! We just... think you should make an attempt to look decent in public is all!
cesontmesmots: Susan: Then how do you explain yourself?
midhenaer: Alex: We... just... you should take pride in your appearance! Boys aren't going to want to buy the entire ice cream truck when you're handing out popsicles for free!
cesontmesmots: Susan: ... ... Daddy's right. You're weird.
midhenaer: Alex: ::grumble:: Your dad really has room to talk.
cesontmesmots: Susan: But he doesn't talk about ice cream trucks.
midhenaer: Alex: It's an expression for the love of... augh.
cesontmesmots: Susan: Besides, he told me that you used to wear dresses.
midhenaer: Alex: ... That is completely different.
cesontmesmots: Susan: How?
midhenaer: Teagan: ::helpful:: It means that boys won't take you as a serious girlfriend prospect if you're showing all and sundry your -- er. Wares.
cesontmesmots: Susan: I'm not showing any wares.
cesontmesmots: Susan: I'm showing skin! *G*
midhenaer: Alex: It just is, and at any rate, we're not talking about me here, we're talking about you here.
midhenaer: Alex: http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/19105888/766272 Here! There is definite ware show-age going on!
cesontmesmots: Susan: Is it different because you actually wore a bra?
midhenaer: Alex: ::gives in:: It is different because I am a guy and it just is. Focus please.
cesontmesmots: Susan: YOU DID WEAR A BRA!!
midhenaer: Alex: I DID OKAY?
cesontmesmots: Susan: THAT'S SO WEIRD!!
midhenaer: Alex: IT HAPPENS. BETHANY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT!
midhenaer: Teagan: Easy there, Alex.
cesontmesmots: Susan: ... ... ... who's Bethany?
cesontmesmots: Susan: I don't see why you're all up-in-arms, anyway. I've worn worse: http://www.emmacaulfield.com/pictures/razormag06.jpg
midhenaer: Alex: She's a psychologist.
cesontmesmots: Susan: ... ... you have a psychologist? It's because you wear dresses, isn't it?
midhenaer: Teagan: ...Susan, I'm surprised your aunt hasn't had the photographer arrested for child pornography.
cesontmesmots: Susan: Why would she arrest Daddy?
midhenaer: Alex: I saw her a couple times, it's not like a regular thing.
midhenaer: Teagan: I have so many answers to that question.
cesontmesmots: Susan: So you wear dresses all the time but don't admit it regularly?
midhenaer: Alex: What? No. Look at me Susan, am I wearing a dress now?
cesontmesmots: Susan: Your pants are baggy and nearly skirt-like.
cesontmesmots: Susan: Is this why Daddy says Amelia wears the pants in the family?
midhenaer: Teagan: Amelia's The Man. This is why.
midhenaer: Alex: You've met Ben Croaker, right?
cesontmesmots: Susan: Yes. He's the jumpy one, right?
midhenaer: Alex: ...Yes. Well, not without reason, but that would be him.
cesontmesmots: Susan: I've heard his hands are pasted on.
midhenaer: Alex: Well. I don't think it's paste per se...
cesontmesmots: Susan: ... ... ... Uncle Teagan, did you call Aunt Amelia The Man?
midhenaer: Teagan: It's an expression. ::proud that he knows this:: She prefers the term civil authority, though.
cesontmesmots: Susan: ...why?
midhenaer: Teagan: It means she's the Law, Susan. And she sort of is.
cesontmesmots: Susan: I told everyone at school how important she is.
midhenaer: Teagan: I'm sure she appreciates it.
cesontmesmots: Susan: She seems the type, since she wears pants and all.
midhenaer: Alex: ::woes:: WHY are you half naked in all these photos?
cesontmesmots: Susan: Mummy and Daddy said I looked cute!
midhenaer: Alex: ::facepalm:: There is no God. God would have never inflicted an innocent child with Francis as a father figure.
cesontmesmots: Susan: I like my Daddy. He's your brother. You should like him, too.
midhenaer: Alex: I never said I didn't like him, I'm just saying he's not being terribly impressive as far as being a father figure goes.
cesontmesmots: Susan: He's a good dad! He buys me anything I want!
midhenaer: Alex: ...You know what? I give up.
cesontmesmots: Susan: :D I always win.
midhenaer: Alex: Am just going to shut up right now.
midhenaer: Teagan: Well that's a first.
cesontmesmots: Susan: It's okay, Uncle Alex, I always win at home, too.
midhenaer: Alex: ::is playing Parcheesi and rather childishly ignoring Susan::
midhenaer: Liz: ::is about dead::
cesontmesmots: Susan: ::goes off to look at old photo albums to laugh at Alex wearing dresses::
midhenaer: Alex: I should make a point to mention that I was as drunk as a skunk when those particular ones were taken.
cesontmesmots: Susan: ::pulls out photo of haremgirl!Alex:: In this one, too?
midhenaer: Alex: No, quite sober there.
midhenaer: Teagan: ::sniggers::
cesontmesmots: Susan: So what's your excuse?
midhenaer: Alex: I needed a costume and your Uncle Teagan suggested a Harem Girl and I took the suggestion.
cesontmesmots: Susan: You listened to Uncle Teagan?
midhenaer: Teagan: He was desperate.
midhenaer: Alex: I was.
cesontmesmots: Susan: You could have put a sheet over your head and gone as a ghost.
midhenaer: Alex: But that's lame. I mean, anyone could do that. But a little Transfiguration help from Carol and bam I had the prettiest most creative costume there.
cesontmesmots: Susan: If that was the most creative, what was everyone else?
midhenaer: Alex: Ah. Well, we had an Uric the Oddball there and that was Cynthia to it wasn't as if I was the only crossdressed person there.
cesontmesmots: Susan: A girl dressing as a boy for a costume party is not the same as wearing a harem girl outfit.
midhenaer: Alex: How, pray tell?
cesontmesmots: Susan: Because Cynthia's not related to me and you are.
midhenaer: Alex: That is the worst argument ever, Susan.
cesontmesmots: Susan: Like yours is any better!
midhenaer: Alex: I'm older. Therefore I have an excuse.
cesontmesmots: Susan: That's a horrible argument, too! Daddy says age never carries any weight in confrontation.
midhenaer: Alex: He just says that because he's younger than Amelia.
cesontmesmots: Susan: That's not why he says that.
midhenaer: Alex: I have known Francis a lot longer than you have, Susan. No offense.
cesontmesmots: Susan: He's my dad.
midhenaer: Alex: As you keep reiterating.
cesontmesmots: Susan: He's obviously smarter than you and more responsible.
midhenaer: Alex: ::snigger:: Right.
midhenaer: Teagan: ::sporfle::
cesontmesmots: Susan: If you're so responsible, why don't you have kids?
midhenaer: Alex: I rather think it a sign of responsibility when I don't have kids when I'm not married.
cesontmesmots: Susan: But Daddy is married. You are old and can't even find a wife!
midhenaer: Alex: I'm not old.
midhenaer: Teagan: You are, too.
midhenaer: Alex: I'm two years older than you, so shutup.
cesontmesmots: Susan: ::amused::
