ANDI: So, what are you actually going to tell them?
TODD: Something trimmed down. I think I have an idea of what I can say that's within guidelines.
MARI: MY BABIES!!!! What happened?!
THEO: Oh they look fine.
MARI: Theo, I have been SO WORRIED!
MARI: Todd, what was that about "bad news"?
TODD: Oh just something to get your attention.
MARI: Girls, make yourselves comfortable. The Boy and I need to discuss the YEARS of my LIFE that have just been stress-deleted.
TODD: Love you too, Mom.

The ol' ear-grab
Countdown for hope spot-reversal and the reaction to fire eyes…started.
Todd’s smart enough to NOT worry his mom about the fire eyes before he can be 1000% convincing that they are in full control and will not burn holes in the walls. Or that te Feds come take her away again, just because they can’t help but showboat it.
I can’t wait to see the next strip. This is going to be good.
Todd will have the same number of ears as Selkie at this rate.
Todd should start with “There’s only so much I can tell you without going to prison, so this is as much as I’m allowed to tell you.”
With a lawful good mother that would work perfectly, … I had a chaotic neutral Mom for whom the rules were mostly a loose set of guide-lines to be followed if there was nothing “fun” to do. The two unbreakable were, “DON’T touch anything in the museum, or I’ll chop your hands off,” and “be polite to everyone, always! You can get at them in other ways.”
To be fair, given the story here, I feel like Todd’s joke is less than appropriate.
So… scare the hell out of your Mother? Didnt they used to think Amanda was dead? Seems like a very poorly thought out joke.
Nothing relives stress quite like spreading it around 😀
Oh crap, I do believe there is a Full Name Usage incoming. 😛
