it’s hard to watch them sometimes

I murdered in my dreams, more specifically I beheaded someone in an alley with. a shovel. Should I question my macabre dreams?

Unless you’re lucid dreaming, I wouldn’t be too worried about it. We can’t control what we dream about.

the power of Mabel

[grunkle4d]

If I’m not overstepping... what’s your son’s name?

Stanley.

[grunkle4d]

Can you describe the tik tok?

The one I made?

I attempted to do a small science experiment, but the video cuts off when Mabel comes into the room screaming “DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR” and shoots a glitter cannon at both me and my experiment, and then Waddles comes streaking into the frame and capsizes the entire table.

[grunkle4d]

oh my god, get tiktok

I technically have one, Mabel set up a profile for me, but I’ve only tiktok’d once so far.

[grunkle4d]

OH MY GOD DID YOU USE MODERN SLANG? IM SO PROUD YOU

Just because I’m old doesn’t mean I’m out of touch.

[grunkle4d]

yeah but thats GREAT UNCLE like the brother of a grandpa Uncle is just the brother of a dad the dad being you

Even if I didn’t have a child, he would still be an uncle.

He’s got uncle energy.

[grunkle4d]

As long as they're safe and healthy. What were they like, if I may ask? You don't have to answer, of course

He was only four years old when I left, so he wasn’t quite a full-fledged person yet, but... he was curious. Adventurous. Sometimes so much so that it gave his mother and I a heart attack.

And his mother was-- god. She was incredible. The wisest, most compassionate woman I’ve ever known. Sometimes I miss her so badly I can’t breathe.

[grunkle4d]

I can't believe Stan is an uncle

You realize everyone calls him Grunkle Stan? You know what Grunkle stands for, don’t you?

[grunkle4d]

o-oh my god Ford I'm so sorry! I never knew you had a son! Is he alright?! Is there any way we could bring him back safely? Is he with his other parent?

He is safe, yes. He’s with his mother.

He’d be in his 20′s by now. He’s a man now, and I missed everything for the sake of saving the multiverse. He’s alive because of me, but sometimes I still regret leaving.

[grunkle4d]

I HEARD YOU'RE MISSIN YOUR SON SIXER? I DON'T MEAN TO BRAG BUT I JUST HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT HE'S IN DIMENSION C-137!! I'D LOOOOVE TO BRING HIM HERE BUT YOU KNOW THAT EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE DO WE HAVE A DEAL?! CONSIDER IT NOSTALGIA ^ /○\ /____\

You say that assuming I don’t know what dimension he’s in.

I know exactly where he is, and that isn’t it. You can’t trick me. He’s safe and hidden from the likes of you.

[grunkle4d]

Im afraid to ask but, What do you mean "miss him"?

I had to leave my son behind in another dimension.

[grunkle4d]

But it's not a bad thing!! More means there's more of your child to love I really didn't mean to upset you ford!! :(

I don’t think it’s a bad thing either.

I just... miss him.

[grunkle4d]

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your hypothetical Child was born with Polydactyly, like you? How would you deal with it? If there were "bad seeds" in this time.

I don’t have to think in hypotheticals. I know for a fact that my polydactyly is a dominant trait that is passed down genetically.

[grunkle4d]

Hey uh Ford? How old are you exactly?

Stanley and I are both 65.

I’m 15 minutes older than him, however.

[grunkle4d]

How was your day, Ford?

It’s been fine so far. Put the finishing touches on the Christmas tree for the gribblings-- they’ll be coming over the day after Christmas to open presents with us.
