He looked up to Jackie questioningly. "Once I had planned to make hamburgers, but I accidentally bought hot dog buns. So, I shaped the hamburgers like this and told the kids it was on purpose. Now they ask for 'hot hamburgers'." Scott's laugh was hearty, and Jackie felt herself blushing. "That's the best story I've heard all day. Improvise and overcome." He nodded at her approvingly, and she felt a sudden irrational sense of pleasure at having impressed him.

A childhood visual of the old witch from the library Hansel and Gretel book pops into my head and only increases the giggles I exude. “I hope not, I’m barely grown, and she might add me to tonight’s menu. I’m too big for an oven!” I point out between snorts of stupid laughter and Meadow caves and starts giggling too, lightening our whole mood. I guess the tension and the heavy weight of this journey has us strung out enough, that even a lame joke like this has enough power to break the strings and have us erupt. It’s needed, between us, this bonding over awful jokes.

The lump in my throat won't let me speak without crying, so I say nothing. "Let's think of something else," he encourages. "Um… remember that door decorating contest the apartment complex sponsored and the snowman I made out of cotton balls?" I giggle before I can stop it. "And the rain storm that came through as soon as you put the finishing touches on." "And all the cotton balls got wet and eyes and mouth looked like they were bleeding because the paper got wet and made the marker run," he adds. We both start laughing now. "And the bird that decided the real carrot nose was a great place to perch and poop - "

So I was well aware that nothing would set him off like calling his stories funny or peculiar. Which is exactly why I did so. Quite regularly. His outraged responses were just too amusing to resist. And right on cue, he scowled at me. “They’re not funny or peculiar, brat. They’re fascinating and exciting. You just don’t appreciate the true magnetism of what I tell you.” “Of course, I do,” I argued. “That story about the metal horse that moves on two wheels will stick with me forever. What did you call the conveyance again?”

"Once upon a time, there was a little bunny who absolutely loved carrots." I pointed at the illustrations, adding lively gestures to match the story. The kids were hooked instantly. Their eyes brightened, no longer heavy with yawns or drifting toward everything else in the room. Slowly but surely, they shuffled closer, forming a cozy little circle around me—completely absorbed in the tale.

"It hasn't." "It has." "It hasn't." "It has!" Ronan quietly changed the subject before either child noticed the tears threatening to form in my eyes. Bless that man. Lunch that afternoon was louder than usual. The boys had somehow convinced Ronan to tell them embarrassing stories about himself. Most of them sounded fake. One involved him accidentally setting a classroom curtain on fire. Another involved stealing a goat because he thought it was a dog. "I'm telling you," he said dramatically, "it barked."

Dementia shouted towards her sister. Daisy only nodded her head but couldn't reply dementia, all her focus were on the Sluagh fairy. Scowling, the Sluagh threw something (Dementia saw a flash of light - a bottle?) at Daisy, who flung up a handful of powder out of nowhere. The bottle turned into a butterfly and fluttered around, looking very confused. Dementia couldn't blame it. It must be very disorienting to spend your life as an inanimate object and suddenly be given wings and a brain. Such as it was.

Their mother used to cook on Sunday mornings even though they had a full kitchen staff, because she said food tasted different when it was made by someone who loved you. Their father used to pretend he couldn't find his reading glasses every single evening so their mother would come and look for them. She always found them. They were always exactly where he'd left them. She never called him on it. I laughed at that one. Actually laughed, surprised out of me, and the sound of it in that room felt strange and new and good. Abel added details that made Henry's stories funnier.
