I get why Todd is getting pretty annoyed by this, but he IS also the one who stoked their fears in the first place by implying a ‘medical emergency’ on the girls’ part for the lulz. My dude, if you want this approached with discretion and wisdom, try applying some yourself.
HA! Expodided, normal or “Holiday season” NDA speed? Before or after the “government shut down” (I was there, there was/is a night and day diffrence and I bet COVID only added another crust of delay/frustration). Also, holidays for this stuff kicks off Sep and go to….March? So yeah, seven months where nobody does anything and there ain’t much you can do about it. Ha.
The MIB would absolutely want that. Anyone who is likely to come in contact with Deep Dark Secrets should be on the inside peeing out rather than the other way around
I swear, I wanna SCREAM when someone with a secret, when confronted about HAVING said secret, then PRETENDS TO NOT HAVE A SECRET AND THUS MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE.
You can say “Yes, I have a secret. I’m not going to/can’t tell you what it is. There’s a good reason for that, please trust me on it and don’t pry” instead of like, pretending you’re having an affair and breaking your wife’s heart.
This! Unless you’re particularly unreasonable and nosy, the news that there’s a Reason to withhold information should be enough to get you to stop snooping. (Barring a few specific more suspicious circumstances — like, you can’t exactly use that to deflect thoughts of cheating as the evidence piles up.) Being up front about there being a secret to protect seems like a reasonable way to handle such an issue.
Either you guys are fortune tellers and know EXACTLY what will happen. (If so, please pass me the lotterynumbers for this month xD).
Or Dave is putting this in there because he thought: “Yes, they’re right. He SHOULD say something to Dad.” xD
Government bureaucracy: the best way to stop people by making everything difficult to do every time.
Also, somehow I expect “effect Barbra Streisand” to hit anytime soon…

Good on Theo and Todd here
Oh look! Healthy communication!
Upside is NDA is now a great excuse for a lot of things.
Officer: Know how fast you were going?
Me: Federal NDA.

Just tell them everything, and then let the MIBs in to zap them with a neuralyzer!
I guarantee these awesome grandparents would sign those NDA’s in a heartbeat if given the option.
I’m guessing they may need to do that anyway, since they’re probably who Selkie would end up living with if something ever happened to Todd

Thank you Todd.
