Coral's first birthday party

Outside in a quiet corner of the garden, well away from the lake, a birthday party has been set up.
There's a paddling pool with some toys in, a picnic spread out on a cloth, and a sign saying 'Happy Birthday Coral'.

"Then what do I call these?" Fry asks, pointing to his privates.
"Testicles, if you must talk about them..."
"Load of tess-tickles!" Fry shouts.
"That's enough." Guppy says sternly.

Date: 2011-07-01 10:05 pm (UTC)Guppy gets up, strides to the paddling pool and picks him up. Fry screams and wriggles, but his father carries him effortlessly over to the path and sits him down.
"This is the naughty spot. You were warned not to swear. You will sit here for two minutes."
Fry pouts, but doesn't get off the spot. He knows how this works. Guppy comes back to the party and turns his attention to his daughter.

Liuta has made them little pillows with animal heads, as I had been telling about the stuffed animals children from the future have. Valeria has a dog, and Myrtia a cat."

Hilde is well and truly out of earshot. "Adalgoth and Gotho, on the other hand..."

"But I'm not." Fry says, with an anguished look.

Date: 2011-07-02 10:21 pm (UTC)"No." Fry says.
"So you're sorry for making people sad?"
"Yes. Sorry."
"Good boy, you can come off the spot now."
Fry runs back to the paddling pool and jumps in, sending a big wave over Teja.
