What a day! Part 3 by(that1hugboxer)

You are… well you don’t have a name yet, in fact you can’t even see yet but you can hear a man’s deep yet silky smooth voice .

“I didn’t expect this when I put my name in the raffle.”

You hear a woman’s voice respond in a very concerned manner.

“Burgess… I understand you were hoping for the Henry rifle but did you even look at the other possible prizes?”

Burgess… that must be the name of the man. Your new Daddeh!?

You chirp excitedly in response to this possibility.

The woman starts trying to talk Daddeh into giving you to someone else.

“Burgess… please that little foal was raffled away because the organizers thought only hugboxers were attending the wedding. She was meant to be someone’s pet , my mom won the rifle I’m sure she’d be willing to make the trade given the circumstances.”

Daddeh sighs and takes a deep breath.

“Joey I’m not going to hurt her, I have a very specific type of fluffy I like to use for my stress relief and this one just doesn’t tick the boxes.

And even if she did , I can read the room.”

The woman’s tone becomes more calm.

“That’s a relief. Let me talk with my mom and we’ll make the trade.”

Daddeh’s voice becomes very gentle.

“I… you know what? Keep the rifle , given your run in with Skinderella you’re going to need it.”

You feel yourself being handed to another person. You assume it’s the woman he’s been talking to.

You hear a different woman’s voice similar to the first but older, more sure of herself.

“Thank you burgess .”

Daddeh says goodbye and you are left with this lady … you guess you’ll call her mummah.

You cuddle up to mummah and let out a soft , content (coo).

You feel mummah gently kiss your head.

“I never thought I’d see the day that I had my own Fluffy, (sigh) Duncan must be rubbing off on me. “

Mummah begins talking to you directly.

“You are going to need a name …Esther sounds good.”

Your start feeling sleepy as mummah talks .

“Now Esther I need you to grow up big and strong so that you can give me lots of -“

You don’t hear the last part, drifting off to sleep mid sentence.

Oh, boy. Jackie is going to have some explaining to do when she gets home. XD

Good Tanachic name, Esther. It goes well with Joey’s Hebrew name. In full, it’s Chadassah bat Aaron u’Miriam. (They’re essentially the names Ha’Shem/G-d calls us. They’re mostly only used for rituals, but some people prefer them. I happily answer to mine. If you want to know what it is, I’ll PM you.)

If you want more detail, lmk!

I really hope Esther gets along with Jackie and Eric’s cat. It’s ok. She’s old, and is more likely to treat Esther like a kitten than anything else.

I really need to know that last part of what Jackie needs.

Yep. XD Eventually, Joey will catch her playing with Stevie and Esther, and will say, “Why were you never that nice to me?”

“You have your grandmothers for that.”

Just give them Long Island accents and a lot of extra drama. :rofl: They’re descended from Russian Jews, which means EVERYTHING is loud and overblown. They talk with their hands, too. German Jews are a lot more sedate. Ahh, the diversity of Ashkenazim. :blue_heart::star_of_david:

Yes, this family is hilarious, especially when Joey’s dad gets dragged in. He’s been known to slide under the table at family dinners and crawl to his office, just to avoid the noise. Poor guy. But he’s a great dad and husband.

So that explains why the Jewish kid in my 6th grade class was basically a cartoon character. Must have been Russian

Very likely. That and, y’know, being Jewish is hard at times, and can draw bullies. Best way to deter them and make friends is making everyone laugh.

Yeah, a lot of Ashkie food tastes a LOT better than it sounds. Good gefilte is divine.

I’m also fond of the beet horseradish, but I like horseradish enough to grow it.

I personally think Joey will be fine. Ned and Jill will have her shooting like Annie Oakley by the time she’s back with the research team

Thanks . I knew she liked to dance so I wanted to make sure before I had her dancing with a guest at the wedding reception. Also today’s story is going to jump a bit on the timeline. I finally got inspiration for part 2 of the expedition. There’s going to be more parts about the wedding at a later date.
