Closed Starter for @lunerlullaby
It’d been a few weeks since Mom returned home. A few weeks since they finally met Mom. Dewey thought that she’d be like an adventurous version of Uncle Donald, someone who wouldn’t freak out every time they fell out of a tree. But that wasn’t what happened.
It always drove Dewey insane to be called ‘Huey’ or ‘Louie,’ and Mom, of course, kept slipping up. She couldn’t keep straight which one of them liked crunchy peanut butter, and who hated it, and just other things like that that Uncle Donald knew by heart. Uncle Donald didn’t need to look at their clothes or hairstyles to tell them apart, but Mom couldn’t even tell them apart with their outfits.
To be fair, Uncle Donald has been there for them since the beginning, he has 10 years of experience with them. It wasn’t fair for Dewey to expect Mom to know her children after spending 10 years trapped on the moon. They were doing the best they could to help her out...
...Which was why Dewey was so frustrated over it all. He hated how frustrated he was that Mom didn’t really know them. It wasn’t like it was her fault, she was trying her best...so why was he so upset over it? He couldn’t really blame her.
A small part of Dewey wanted to throw his pillow across his room, but he didn’t want to have to climb down from his bed and get it again. All he could do was sit and stare out the window, trying to not be mad at his mom for something that he can’t blame her for.
