[Remember this picture, Ange? (doesn't Battler look like a dork (doesn't dad look as cool as ever)) Mom managed to find it.  And now it's being broadcast, isn't it great...

]

Happy birthday, Ange~ Will you come over for dinner tonight? We can have a little party just like we used to.  Well, not quite the same seeing as your father isn't around, but we all know the highlight is having Battler there anyway.
I want to make up for our absence, in some small way. 

[Locked from Ange]

I'm extending an open invitation to any of Ange's friends as well.  I'll be making dinner as well as dessert and you're welcome to stay as little or long as you like.  The only condition is, please keep it a secret from Ange, I want it to be a surprise.

ALL CUTESY AND SMILING TOO...!! ]

[ video ] going to end at 5 / 6 like onii-chan..

[repudiate]

[ okay Ange, calm down, it's supposed to be meant in a good way (right..) and damage control is priority right now, no matter how embarassing this is.. ]

[ video ] yup 6 / 6

[repudiate]

T-.. thanks, mom, I'll come for sure...

But.. why that picture?

just like onii-chan, yes...

[selfinteresting]

Why not! Isn't it cute? Look how tiny you are. [Giggle]

they both have the same genes, okay...

[repudiate]

Of course it's cute, every kid that age is cute. [ but this is exactly the problem?! ] It's just that there's no need for everyone in this place to see that, right?

excuses, excuses

[selfinteresting]

Why not, 'every kid that age is cute', so it isn't a big deal, right?

[repudiate]

Even if every kid is that cute, there's no meaning at all in them seeing what I looked like at that age!

[ MOOOOOM.. ;A; ]

Besides, no doubt Battler onii-chan will complain too about you showing everyone that picture. [ come on, support her here, big bro.. ]

[selfinteresting]

Sure there is, can't I show off my cute daughter?

Battler is pretty insistent that he doesn't mind it, but I think otherwise.

[repudiate]

But it's at my expense.. [ sobbing on the inside forever. ]

At this rate I'll go over to him right now to ask him about it, he's got to back me up on this one.

[selfinteresting]

I don't really care if he backs you up or not, I agree he should. I don't believe his story of enjoying that picture out in the open for everyone to see. But it's not going anywhere either way~

[repudiate]

[ ah, she sees how it is, mom just wants to embarass both of them.. ]

What are you going to do next, hang it up all over the village for everyone to see?

[selfinteresting]

Oh, you caught me, that's exactly it.

[repudiate]

[ WAIT, WHAT-- unsure if trolling or not..!! ]

... That's a joke, isn't it?

[selfinteresting]

What do you think? [(everyone)]

[repudiate]

Surely you wouldn't sink to that level, mom..

[ right?!?!? ]

[selfinteresting]

[nope]

I just might.

[repudiate]

[ UWOOOO. Mom, why are you so embarassing and a troll.. ]

I'll follow you and take every single one of them down.

[selfinteresting]

[because dad]

No, no, you'll be grounded and confined to your room while this is going on.

[repudiate]

Come on, I'm nineteen already now.. it's not like you could still seriously ground me, right? Especially when it's for such a lame purpose.

[selfinteresting]

I'm your mother, I can do exactly as I please.

[repudiate]

[ BUT MOOOHOOOOM... ]

... Come on, isn't this supposed to be my birthday..? Not local humiliate-Ange-day.

[selfinteresting]

Didn't you know that's what a birthday is? You're welcome to do the same for me.
