About Selina or did he have a girlfriend before her? That's so adorable.
What's so hard about telling me about a super close friend? Specially as she spent the last year and a half bringing this super annoying guy home who took the libery of calling himself my step-dad. ... Now I know he wasn't a bad guy, but Jack was annoying as hell.
... Because... I don't know, it's just weird to know about every thing your daughter does, isn't it? But she... Now I understand why she wouldn't talke about things. She's probably ashamed of herself.
Probably. But he skipped a bullet with mom. Literally.
Because parents are supposed to be like cautionary tales. Of course I don't want all the details. But it's unfair that she knows so much about my life while I realize I've been raised by a stranger.
Oh bullocks to all that. Parents are not supposed to be anything except exactly that, parents. People who chose to give their time and love to their child. And you call your Mum a stranger but it works both ways, missy. You ever think that maybe your Mum would have told you more if you had asked? Or sat down and shared things with her instead of her getting random phone calls from others about you?
Oh, I'm sure she would have gladly told me all about how she was working by the freaking kinping or how she'd rather kill a man than giving me a freaking clue of what she was actually doing. Because that's it, our money is dirty and there's blood on it because of her! I'm sure she would have told me, same as she told me all about her friend the british guy.
[Kate types fast and sends it without thinking.
But a different sort of regret reaches her first, one that sounds like the Riddler when he points out that no, she's not perfect or fully a hero. Not as good as she pretends to be.
Because yes, she's sheltered and yes, that money is stained with blood.]

[That's an accurate turn of phrase considering his past with her Mum....]
It didn't take you that long to drop the attitude.
no subject
Thankfully. I would feel like SHIT now if I had been even worse than I was.
no subject
You were fine, in fact your attitude reminded me a bit of your Mum's when she was young so mostly it was just amusing to me.
no subject
...
How was my mom when she was younger?
Aside from someone who apparently dressed as the condom fairy.
no subject
She was a spitfire.
Strong, determined and wicked smart.
no subject
Who met the british badass dude and instantly became BFFs?
no subject
Pretty much, yes.
no subject
Have you taught him to shave yet, Alfred?
Wish mom had told me more about you, from that side of things. I feel like she never tells me anything... Personal. The stuff that matters.
no subject
I taught him last year actually even though he hasn't really needed to do it.
Sometimes it's hard to tell your child about certain parts of your life.
no subject
That's so adorable.

Now I know he wasn't a bad guy, but Jack was annoying as hell.
no subject
Because it was a very long time ago, Kate. And she might have felt embarrassed to tell you things like the condom fairy.
That does seem rather presumptions of him.
no subject
Are all your memories together about dirty costumes? Because unless that's the case, it makes zero sense to me.
That would be an understatement.
The guy would bring me flowers or tell me about how he got a book about parenting. It was so cringey.
no subject
No, not all of them. But let me ask you this, do you tell your mother everything about your life?
It sounds like he was just nervous and trying to make a good impression on you.
no subject
... That's different.
Maybe. But he was trying a little too hard.
no subject
How so?
Probably because he was worried.
no subject
... Because... I don't know, it's just weird to know about every thing your daughter does, isn't it?
But she... Now I understand why she wouldn't talke about things. She's probably ashamed of herself.
Probably. But he skipped a bullet with mom. Literally.
no subject
It works both ways then, it's weird to know everything your Mum does isn't it?
Gee thanks.
I don't find that very amusing.
no subject
Well, yeah! But it's still different.
I'm not saying that that involves you!
But it's true. Alfred, she framed him.
no subject
In a way you are.
I'm aware but I don't think it's funny.
no subject
Of course I don't want all the details. But it's unfair that she knows so much about my life while I realize I've been raised by a stranger.
How??
Yeah, well, you can blame her for that.
no subject
And you call your Mum a stranger but it works both ways, missy. You ever think that maybe your Mum would have told you more if you had asked? Or sat down and shared things with her instead of her getting random phone calls from others about you?
Because like you said, I was one of her secrets.
no subject
Because that's it, our money is dirty and there's blood on it because of her!
I'm sure she would have told me, same as she told me all about her friend the british guy.

But I notice you don't have anything bad to say about him, do you?
