[The Pines family is really bad at this. It's taken Ford years to unlearn all the bad habits he drilled into his own head, even putting genuine effort toward doing so. This, here, is progress. He knows that really it wouldn't make him feel any better. It would just be time to stew on his own about it, to nurse the hurt until the edge faded away, and that's not healthy coping.]
I have some options when it comes to people I can call up for a distraction. I'll see if any of them are free.
[And now he's said it to someone else so he has to do it, because this child will keep him accountable. That's family baby!!!!]
