"Cooking spaghetti isn't even cooking, it's just like boiling water" [Y/N] watched as his boss complained about making spaghetti for a fundraiser for a club that his eldest daughter was in, The Conflict Resolution club.
[Y/N] huffed in amusement at Bobs reluctance to cook anything that wasn't a burger. The employee wiped down the booths with a cloth as he eavesdropped on his bosses' conversation with the regulars, Mort, and local handyman Teddy.
"Hey Bobby, can I come to this thing?" Teddy asked the restaurant owner, [Y/N] scrunched up his face and furrowed his eyebrows at the request, why would he want to go? [Y/N] glanced back at Teddy, [Y/N] had only seen Teddy a couple of times, Teddy would usually come in on a weekday When [Y/N] was at school, but today he had a half day and Bob asked him to clock in. To [Y/N] the handyman seemed nice enough. Teddy was a rounder man and often wore a blue work shirt, generic brown pants with his tool belt to keep them up, he also wore a grey beanie, most likely to cover his balding head. [Y/N] assumed Teddy and Bob were friends, however he found Teddy's fascination with the Belcher family a little odd, but [Y/N] just shrugged it off as him being lonely.
"I don't think so" Bob replied, from his tone of voice it was clear that he had to deal with this sort of thing from Teddy regularly.
"Why not?" Teddy pressed on, "Some of these moms are divorced, right?" Teddy moved his arms to emphasise his words, "They meet me, I meet their Kids, maybe throw the ball around, not inside but-"
"We agreed no more school events, for you, Teddy" Bob shut his customer down, but before the conversation could continue or [Y/N] could ask any questions on what exactly Bob meant by that, Louise and Gene entered the restaurant now that they were home from school. "Hey Dad, guess what" Gene strolled in, looking somehow more confident than usual. He was sporting a "Little princess guitar" around his neck, while Louise looked irritated and a little sad, [Y/N] assumed that Tina was at a club meeting, which explained her absence.
"I acted like banjo and took Choo-Choo down" Gene played a chord on the plastic guitar, [Y/N] Knew who Banjo was, he was the main character from the spaghetti western series "Banjo", [Y/N] used to watch them with his grandfather all the time, but he had no clue who Choo-Choo was. From context clues, [Y/N] figured out that Gene had humiliated a bully of some sort by playing his plastic guitar, but the more the Belcher boy talked about his victory at school, the more irritated his younger sister became. From what Linda told [Y/N], Louise and Bob had a nightly tradition where they'd flick through TV channels and roast and criticize what they were showing.
They called themselves "The burn unit" last night however they came across "Banjo", a childhood favourite of Bobs, the sounds from the TV woke Gene and the duo have been obsessing over the movies ever since. [Y/N] knew how Louise felt, it felt like her dad was being taken away from her, it always hurts when that happens, especially at Louise's age. Right when [Y/N] went to give her words of wisdom, however, Louise started to stab the complete banjo box set bob bought with a fork, [Y/N] decided to leave her alone after that.
The next day [Y/N] was sitting in the counsellor's office at the Belcher trios school, next to him was Louise and gene covered in food from the canteen, he felt like he was the one in trouble as Mr. Frond, the middle-school counsellor explained that the duo instigated a food fight. How did [Y/N] get here you may ask? [Y/N] didn't remember exactly how or why he was here, he just knew that he was at home doing classwork, unable to go to school because of a burst pipe; which was also the reason for the half-day yesterday, when he got a call from The Belchers asking him to go into the kids school in place of them because they were too busy running the restaurant. So here he was, pretending to be the Belcher parents' nephew and the Belcher kids' older cousin.
