Yep.

Jude

Me and Lulu took a walk. I didn’t think Seb would like me looking over his shoulder. And it’s not like a game, where I can cheer him on.

Jude

It’s nerve-racking.

Totally.

What are you doing now?

Jude

Going home to change and grab lunch then meet the guys at Imagination for a playdate.

I think you guys enjoy your playdates more than the kids.

Jude

High probability.

Jude

What are you up to today?

I’m at the farm, doing some banking. Nicole ran the stand at the market by herself yesterday so I’m giving her a few extra bucks in her envelope next week, and Gunner should be here soon so we can pack up this week’s co-op deliveries.

Jude

Got anything not green?

Some red bell peppers.

You need to start eating better.

Jude

No thanks.

Listen, pal.

Jude

They don’t taste good.

I need you around for a long time. You better start eating some greens, or I’m gonna shove them down your throat.

Jude

So violent.

The problem is you don’t know how to cook them. Wait until you try my sweet-and-spicy chicken and brussels sprouts.

Jude

I’ll eat the chicken.
