Realistic or Modern The Beginning of the End

"Well. Cheers to that." He gently tapped his glass against her own while smiling. ".. While we're waiting for that, you got any funny stories to tell of when you worked on the farm? Or of school, I don't really mind. Just something to pass the time - Hell, a funny story about a part of life, if you want." He chuckled. (@Soul OMU)
 
".. Jesus..." He rubbed his forehead while laughing. ".. Okay, I've got one story that I've only shared with Alex - that was about nine years ago that I told him, and he laughed at me, and I cried." He chuckled. "Basically, when I was a kid - You know, Carl's age - Before I went to school, every morning I'd make sure that I used the bathroom before I left. When I was younger, I'd, like... I'd pee at school, and all that, but anything else was just a no-no." He paused for a moment while he sipped his drink. "Basically. One morning, I found myself in trouble because I didn't need to use the bathroom when I woke up - I was worried and sitting there eating breakfast, hoping that I'd be able to go before we left for school. I didn't. In fact, the time when I needed to go was literally right as we were walking out the front door."


The smell of steaks being cooked slowly drifted across the restaurant, and for a minute Eric was stumbling over his thoughts. The steak smelt too good, but regardless, he moved on.


"I turn to my dad and I say 'daddy, I gotta' go bathroom now.' - He tells me that I'll have to wait until I get to school, because we didn't have time to go back inside the house. I tried not to burst into tears right there and then, but even when we were in the car, Alex knew that there was something wrong with me because I was being very sheepish and quiet." He laughed and then sighed. "So, we got to school, me and Alex went our separate ways and I went off to my Kindergarten class - I figured to myself that I'd be able to hold it until we got home later. That was a bad idea, because I was getting stomach pains constantly throughout the day. By the end of lunch, I was nearly in tears. In our final lesson, I went up to our teacher, Miss... Miss Reid, her name was. And I made the second biggest mistake of that day. I said to her 'Miss Reid, can I use the bathroom?'." He laughed and shook his head. "And do you know what she said in response? All teachers can be dicks this way, it happens to all of us. Take a guess at what she said." He grinned. (@Soul OMU)
 
Jenna taps her chin. "I'm guessing she said no?" She said softly while looking at him and sniffing softly as she smelt the delicious smell of steak. "Mmm..."
 
"No. She said something much worse." He paused. "'I don't know, can you?' That's what she said. And me, having five years of life experience, I didn't know that she wanted me to say 'may' instead, and I couldn't understand, so I asked 'Does that mean yes?' - I was so desperate, though. My eyes were wide when I asked her - I remember the whole thing like it happened yesterday. She looked at me, saw how uncomfortable I was, and then just let me go - I didn't want to use the bathroom at the back because I was worried someone would hear me, so I left the classroom to find the Boys' bathroom just down the hallway. Now, by the time I'd walked through the door, it was pretty much too late already - The teacher wasted about thirty seconds of the time I had left, so you can imagine how I was feeling - I had tears running down my cheeks when I got to the bathroom, and I felt like I wasn't going to make it - I waddled across to the stall right at the back, went inside, closed the door, locked it, and by the time I'd actually reached the toilet, I ended up getting half of it on the floor anyway." He laughed and then sighed, rubbing his forehead. ".. I finished up there, cleaned up as best I could, washed my hands and then went back to class - better yet, when I'd sat down on the toilet, I had to sit like this." He turned in his seat and held his legs straight up away from the ground while laughing. "I couldn't put my feet on the floor, for obvious reasons." He laughed again. (@Soul OMU)
 
"Yeah, not only that, but I didn't want to step in the mess I'd made." He laughed. "Kindergarten toilets are way smaller, from what I remember. Regardless. I hated that teacher ever since that day - after that experience, and realizing that there was someone in the stall beside mine, whom of which heard everything - I never had a problem with using the bathroom at school again." He laughed. ".. I got home, told Alex about it and expected some support, instead he laughed in my face and I ran off crying to my mom. I cried for about ten minutes, then Alex came and apologized and we watched some cartoons together." He grinned and shrugged. "As if nothing ever happened, right?" He laughed. (@Soul OMU)
 
Jenna nods while smiling a bit and sipping her wine. "That's true too." She said while leaning back. "It happens to everyone to some degree but I never had that problem since I didn't care if I used the washroom at school." (@DrTrollinski)
 
Tom stood and walked into the kitchen and looked at scarlet, "need me to burn any of the food sweetheart?" Tom watched her cook, finding himself falling for the redhead even more.
 
"Yeah, all kids are different." He chuckled. ".. I always wondered what it was like to be a dad - I imagine it's strange but fun at the same time. Like... I don't know if you get what I mean, but... At first, I think everyone feels like it'll never happen, and then it happens, and it has its pros and cons, you know?" He laughed and then looked towards the kitchen. Chef was bringing the two plates over. (@Soul OMU)
 
Tom nodded and walked away, heading toward Carl. He sat next to the young boy and smiled, "that Apple must be delicious!" He grinned
 
Carl grinned at him and nodded while taking another bite into the apple. He nodded in agreement and snuggled up to him. "It's really nice and sweet, do you wanna' try some? You can try some and then we can get the movie ready for after dinner." He suggested as he hugged him with one arm, while elevating the apple to be in front of Tom's face. (@DrCompton)


 
(Wow. Bad timing xD Let me change that. Sec. @DrCompton)


 
(@DrCompton - Fixed :P )
 
Jenna blinks and raises a brow. "Really? Interesting." She said while looking towards Chef at their meals. "Wow... Looks good."

"No no, I'm good bud. I'm saving room for the delicious food Scarlrt is making for us, saving us from another meal burned by me." He smiled and held Carl as they waited
 
He put them both down in front of them and wished them a nice meal before wandering back off to the kitchen. Eric looked at them and smiled. "Looks fantastic. I hope you enjoy it, Jenna." He smiled as he picked up his knife and fork and began tucking in. (@Soul OMU)

"I like your cooking, daddy." Carl complimented with a grin as he bit into his apple again. (@DrCompton)
 
"This takes me back a bit. Sometimes on Saturdays we'd have a steak night. If you like this, you should have met my mom." He chuckled and ate some of his vegetables. (@Soul OMU)
 
".. Well, it's quite a nice memory, to be honest." He smiled. "Sometimes I think about what it was like before, and I miss what we had, but I've had some pretty good times during all of this as well - There's a bright side to everything, isn't there?" He smiled as he ate some more steak. It was a sirloin steak, so it was a lean cut - the BBQ flavor to it made it very nice as well. (@Soul OMU)
 
DrTrollinski said:
".. Yeah, I guess." He said as he nocked the arrow and pulled it back a little. He sneaked up towards the three with Conner but then froze as he heard movement. A deer slowly walked out from behind the tree - female, adult. Daniel pulled the arrow back and took a chance shot - the neck. He released the arrow and it flew forward - right into the side of the neck and out the front. The deer kicked and struggled as blood sprayed from its throat, but soon it fell to the ground and slowly died down. (@Beowulf
(@Beowulf)
 
Connor stared at the deer, dying on the ground. "Good shot. Now all we have to do is either decide to skin and gut it here or drag it back to camp and do it there." As he walked towards the now dead deer, he puts a hand on his bayonet, ready to skin it if they decided to do it there. "I'd say we drag it back. The smell of meat might attract something, but I think we can manage it. And we don't want to take several trips to get everything."
