I'll take that request under consideration.

WAY more than twenty. WAY more.

[babysitters]

It can't be THAT MUCH more.

[howandwhen]

How do you figure it can't?

[babysitters]

MORE than 20, Buckley? I give them rides on weekends.

[howandwhen]

Oh, right. Right. It's the other Steve Harrington that does all the other stuff from them outside of rides on the weekends. My mistake.

[babysitters]

All right, wise guy.

( yes, he is calling his lesbian bestie a wise guy. SHE'S BEING ONE. )

I think they've saved my ass about as many times as I've saved theirs, but they can hop to fixing me from Upside Down gunk anyway.

[howandwhen]

Wise guy? Really?

They would hop to, anyways. Regardless of the ass saving AND the rides. Although, even if it were only rides on weekends, that's still gotta be more twenty.

[babysitters]

I call it like I see it.

( and he sees a real WISE GUY over here. and... well... shit. she's probably right about the more than 20 rides thing. god, he is so fucking lame. )

If I get the bright idea to drive Henderson to school next year, you gotta talk me out of it.

[howandwhen]

Alright then. So be it.

There is no way you actually think I could talk you out of that, and there's no way you aren't going to be driving him.

[babysitters]

Well, that's a bad start to talking me out of it.

[howandwhen]

Okay, fine. Let's give this a shot.
No
Stop
Don't do it
It's a terrible idea and you definitely won't regret it if you manage to somehow resist the mom instinct that compels you

[babysitters]

You suck at this, Buckley.

( which sounds so RUDE over text. but Robin should know by now how fond he is about it. )

[howandwhen]

Oh, well.
Why do you want to be talked out of that?

[babysitters]

He's gotta grow up, I gotta get a life, it would save me gas and wear and tear on the Beamer. Take your pick.

[howandwhen]

Those are stupid reasons. He's gonna grow up regardless, in fact, he has already realistically grown up more than he should have at this point cause of all the world ending bullshit, you do actually have a life and he's part of it, and that last bit is just not something I buy as higher on your priority list then mama henning people.
