Queer Family: A Wholesome Story of my Evening, told in several parts.
If you want to know how I acquired three very different children, ask another time. Tonight is the tale of how they ganged up on me. Lovingly. With a single demand and a united front.

First, Ruby.
Tonight was the first time she& #39;s seen my beard. In this moment, she is pronouncing it "very very very cute, papa! I love your little beard!" I wasn& #39;t expecting her to object, but still, it& #39;s a lovely affirmation from a five-year-old.

This is just an adorable picture, but also, around here in the conversation is when she decided I should grow my beard to be as long as Rapunzel& #39;s hair. She demonstrated, running the length of the hallway and back, telling me it needed to be at least that long.
Of course, five-year-olds only talk with you for so long, and it had been a while since I& #39;d checked in with Eliza. She& #39;s the oldest at 21. She& #39;s amazing and beautiful and loves seeing pictures of Ruby, so I shared these, and then... this happened.
I could see where this was going, so even before she said she& #39;d get @queer_elf_club in on it, I was scrambling to get to him first. But my plan backfired. I reached out via the group chat I share with him and his mom. Some of you know her as @saucymincks. She& #39;s in this story too.
Great, so now the girlfriend agrees too. Although to be fair, she mostly just couldn& #39;t resist. I mean, a personality test recently put me as Dr. Ian Malcolm first with Dumbledore a close second.
So, as Eliza said, I ran to TikTok, still hoping to head her off, but to no avail:

Because, as it turned out, Eliza was more persuasive than I was.
Eliza had a very good time celebrating her victory over me and used that time to put on some killer makeup, because she& #39;s staying home in style these days.
And I didn& #39;t get to actually chat with Soy tonight (probably just as well, sleep is important!) but it feels wrong to leave his pretty face out of this, so here& #39;s a shot from his dance class last week, the first day with his new haircut:
