What about the “yes” kids?

I was usually the “present” kid.

Occasionally the “yes” kid.

Oh no

What about a sushi burrito?

Teenager: *struggling to breathe through laughter in the background*

Spouse: What?

Me: My head hurts will you bring me a coke?

Spouse: I want you to know you’ve killed the kid. I think she’s having an asthma attack.

Teenager: *background laughter intensifies*

Spouse: I’ll be right there…

That is one of the things that I love about Nalini Singh's books. The Psy/Changeling world at least had very diverse casting when it came to characters-- and while she would touch on the impact of skin color in the books, she never fetishized it-- Probably because she's a WOC herself.

Usually it is the plot or the main scenario. Sometimes a character will pop up in my head and I need to figure out a world to put them into.
