Riley's pog

It's been quite a journey I must say.
Weird that it's been four years later since I went to that vidcon.
Lucas and I met up for coffee a few times but they always seemed so awkward.
I'm on this new medication for my panic attacks and it's been super helpful with keeping Guardian happy because I take him on longer walks.

Farkle and I have been sitting on our couch for the past five minutes and I've been trying to think of what to say.

"I want a son!" I blurt out.
"What with me?!?"
"No!! Well...sort of. i don't know, I just wanna adopt a kid!!"
"But you have a dog!! THAT IS A KID!"
"I know I know but every time I look at him I picture a little kid standing with him"
"Then that means our house is haunted."
"Shut up." I smack his shoulder.
"Riley, kids are a big responsibility! They need changing, feeding, burping, bathing. Way more shit than a dog"
"But imagine this, us living with a little kid sitting by the fire opening Christmas prsents-"
"You know I'm Jewish right?"
"-Hanukkah gifts by the fire!"
"Riles, that's like a dog times ten!"
"Well can't we just like foster a kid-"
"Why can't my dad just invent a fake kid that would work so much better no cleaning, feeding, ANYTHING!!"

I get a call from Auggie.

"Yo yo lil bro! What's up?"
"Dad just burnt cookies and there is smoke in the air, that's what's up!"
"Just open the windows and the door"
"We need you to get Maya out of the living room, she has literally been here asking for your number for 3 hours!"
"Just tell her that I'm in Ohio!" Because I obviously wasn't.
"Whatever. Talk to ya soon. Love you"
"Love you!"
