Subject Soooo,
You wouldn't happen to have anything on Jean-Paul that could be used to get him baking, would you? He's being much too grumpy of late.
I'd let you have some of the cupcakes.

Why are you trying to get him baking? Why the fuck are you trying to blackmail him into it? And on what planet is his current state of grumpy "too grumpy"? Have you talked to him? He's been in a better mood lately than he has been since he's come back. Maybe he's getting laid or on drugs his metabolism doesn't eat in three seconds flat or something.

Because it's good for him, and he won't bake with me. He needs to interact with people more. Annnnd true, he isn't quite as surley as he has been. You think someone in the mansion and he are knocking boots?

I don't know, but most people are happier when they're getting laid so it seems the easy answer. For all I know he could be meditating or something.
How do you know it's good for him? If he said no maybe you should respect that. There are people who need to be pushed and there are people with whom pushing leads to backfire. Leave him alone about it. A lot's changed about him, if you hadn't realized, maybe that has, too.

You're right, and I'll leave him alone. (I'd print this email out, were I you, it's a first.)
I still think he needs some kind of help, he sets off my mothering radar. I'll resist for now though.

Everything sets off your mothering radar. Fully capable, healthy, well-adjusted people set off your mothering radar.
For the record I'm printing out the email. Then laminating it. Then maybe framing it. And then showing it off to everyone to prove it happened!

This is true. Sometimes people need a little mothering? I stop now when they tell me too! Sort of...sometimes. (See? Progress!)
It should get a walnut frame, and one of those little lights that light up when you walk past it on the wall. And then you can show Garrison, because he doesn't believe me when I tell him I'm an adult now. (Shocking, I know.)
