Giggle. Headshake.

He giggles. "...Maybe you shouldn't have babies with Nemo." 

Eyebrow raise.

"Eh, she'd cancel out the quiet."

Shrug.

"And they could just be loud people."

Exaggerated shudder.

"They could copy their cousins."

"Mm."

"Bet me and Michael's would be blonde!"

Headshake. "Recessive."

"You knew what genes are, but not where babies came from?"

Shrug.

"His dad's blond!"

"Fifty-fifty, then."

Zaneta walks over, Sadde beside her. "And what are we talking about?"

"Babies."

"Oh, God, don't tell me they got to you, too."

Headshake, cross over heart.

"Got what?"

"Just trying to convince him how awesome his babies would be if they were half mer."

Grimace.

"...you're eight. Aren't you?"

"I'm not even one."

"Yeah, but you're not like, one one."
