Summary
“So, what did you do last night?” Marjan asks as she sips her coffee.
“Oh, Carlos and I did date night,” he answers as he starts loading items from the sink into the dishwasher. “We went to Costco and—”
“Costco? On a date?”
“Yeah, it’s one of our usual date night locations.”
“You guys are weird,” Marjan raises her eyebrows behind her coffee mug.
“The food’s my favorite part, Carlos always says I’m a cheap date,” he laughs. He makes his way over to the couch and she follows, they sit down side by side with their feet up on the coffee table. “I ate way too much pizza and then I had Carlos buy me a soft serve and I made him get a churro because I wanted a bite. He bitched about how dry it was but he ate the whole thing.”

Summary
“Uncle Carlos? Who’s tummy did Lou come out of?”
“Umm,” Carlos stutters. He sets Charlie on a dining room chair and gives TK a nervous look. “Well, he came out of his mama’s tummy I guess.” He pauses with a pensive look on his face and TK loves him even more for how much thought he’s putting into answering a chaotic four-year-old’s lawlessly illogical questions. “But Lou Two is a reptile, so he actually came out of an egg.”
“Chickens come from eggs!” She yells, throwing her hands up in the air in excitement. “Is Lou Two a chicken?”
“No,” Carlos says, grabbing her hands and shaking them. “He’s a lizard.”
“Why isn’t he a horse?”
“Umm. Because he’s a lizard?”
“Is Uncle TK gonna have a baby in his tummy?”
“Uh.”
