Matt : Theo , when you and Reed were talking about adoption during dinner last night remember when I said I read in the Post about a agency that is for only LGBTQA couples? I couldn't think of the name then. My brain is fried since Livvie was born. I don't think I have slept a wink with her constantly crying all night long. Poor Saint. He has to get up for work in the morning too. Least I'm on paternity leave from the cafe. But we adore our little snuggle bug. Sorry. My head is scattered lately. I remember it. Bundle of Joy. It's owned by a Black lesbian woman called Vanessa Clyde. I am so happy you guys are going to be parents. Your baby will be so lucky. Gotta go. Livvie is crying. It's bottle time.
Theo : Thanks, Matt ! If you and Saint need a baby break we can babysit our cutie pie Livvie anytime. Just say the word. We need parenting practice anyway. Beyond Winnie.
Matt : Thanks, my friend. Might take you up on that. I hope my angel goes to sleep after I feed her. I need a nap.

Theo : Charles ! You know everything about everyone in D.C. Have you heard of a adoption agency called Bundle of Joy? Owned by a Vanessa Clyde?
Charles: Hmmm. Not really. That means it's not that memorable. Are you really thinking of contributing to overpopulation by adopting a spawn? You do realize this creature won't leave until it's eighteen? If you are lucky. Knowing you you'll fall on it.
Theo : Shut up.
Charles: If you do get one please don't dress it yourself. It'll end up in Superhero tee shirts and eighties style pants. Seventies style. I remember when I got a rash from your closet.
Theo : You did not! Go away.
Charles: You texted me, dear boy.
Theo : I'm quite aware of that fact , Charles LeClair. It was a mistake. Like the supposed rash you got from my closet. Are you sure it wasn't one of your rent boys?
Charles: Touche.

Grace: Little brother, Reed told me you all are thinking of adopting. I'm just thrilled for you. You should join a Mommy and Me group on Facebook. I love mine.
Theo : Why would I join a Mommy and Me group? I'm not a mommy. I'm a man.
Grace: Nonsense. You're the perfect Mommy. Why when we played house growing up you always insisted on making the pretend muffins and wearing the little apron Mother got me.
Theo : Go away.
Grace : You texted me.
Theo : No , I didn't. I would never. Go away. I'm getting a Grace headache.
