Me, bored while driving 7 hours and coming up with fun facts about Carl Tennyson:
1.) He was born on February 20, 1978 making him 17 when Ben was born, and 47 in 2025.
2.) Him and Sandra plan on opening a dispensary when they retire. Yes, that kind of dispensary.
3.) He's 10.5 years younger than his brother, Frank.
4.) He has an extensive juvenile criminal record, primarily due to drugs, truancy, and trespassing; but he knew he had to grow up fast once he learned Sandra was pregnant.
5.) Him and Sandra have been best friends since second grade, but they started dating in eighth grade.
6.) Max sent him to a CEDU school for freshman and sophomore year of high school, where he experienced a lot of abuse; this is the main reason why he hates Max.
7.) He is younger than Sandra by exactly 7 months. This means that her birthday is July 20, 1977.
8.) He held off on going to college to raise Ben while Sandra went to college and med school.
9.) When he did go to college, he also worked for Mr. Baumann; he earned a BS in civil engineering in 2005 and an MS in 2013.
10.) Max tried to give him the house as a gift, but he paid Max anyway because he didn't want to be indebted to his father.
11.) Max physically and verbally abused him throughout his childhood, but both of them, and Frank, tried to justify it. Verdona wasn't really in the picture, obviously.
12.) Sandra was told that she couldn't have children after surviving childhood cancer, which is why he didn't use condoms.
13.) Carl and Sandra got married in Iceland in March 1996.
14.) Carl and Sandra are Norse pagans. Obviously not the super cringe, racist kind that doesn't understand the religion at all.
15.) Carl has been a vegan since he was 13 years old because Max made him eat too many bugs.
16.) Carl, Sandra, and Ben went to Woodstock 99 and were extremely disappointed.
17.) Him and Sandra have had two major fights throughout their marriage: 1.) Carl smoking cigarettes and 2.) Whether NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys are better.
18.) I would adopt him if I could because he deserved better.
