FOURTEEN
[...] Is this what it feels like to have a small child? At least I can put this one on a leash.

	Both of my kids actually just showed up- slightly older, but still very young. Kind of like the Simon and Garfunkel song, haha. I know that I'll sound terribly cliched, but having little kids is like simultaneously the best and most challenging thing you'll probably ever do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Simon and Garfunkel? My kid, Harry, showed up a while ago, but he's just a bit younger than myself. I missed pretty much all of his childhood, but from the bits and pieces I've heard and seen I don't think I did too bad. How old are yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, muggle band, they have a lyric that's like "I'm older than I once was and younger than I'll be, that's not unusual"...but I think when they said it wasn't unusual, they didn't have these circumstances in mind.

Oh, Harry Potter? I think we're friends in most worlds, but I never really go to know him in mine...actually my wife and him usually get married, but she also never got to know him very well either. Is that weird having him here almost the same age as you? My daughter Erin is eight and 3/4 and she was four months in my time, then my son Niall is eleven and he was only two in my time.

Probably not; I haven't met many people who would ever have thought that this was possible.

Yes, that's him. I'm James from the Healy Games world. What's your name? It's a little odd, yes. It's a bit disconcerting hearing someone call you dad who can look you in the eye when you have no recollection of even marrying his mum. I missed not only his birth but his conception and the rest of his life. Erin and Niall? Those are both good, strong names.

Hah, yeah, but who knows, people might show up from a new world where inter-universal time travel is the norm.

Seamus Finnigan from "Hope World" or "Heir World". I was here before, apparently, but from colour world and as an eighteen year old...so that "me" was one of the...mes who is usually friends with Harry since they dormed and stuff at Hogwarts. Yeah, Ginny is sort of going through the same thing, we weren't anywhere close to being in a relationship in her time- I was actually living in the United States then. But I guess you got through it okay? Haha, thanks. So is Harry, of course.

	It honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point. It's a bit to wrap your mind around, aye? There are many different versions of myself here on the compound, and there are some in other worlds that [...] lead much different lives than I did. The US? Hmm. What was that like? Apparently so; the kid seems to have turned out alright despite the circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, it really is. It's good though to see how your kids turn out. The US was good, overall, it was just kind of weird. Things were really bad in Great Britain and Ireland at the time, I don't know how much you know about this world, but there's a lot of really terrible blood prejudice and it gets really violent sometimes. That's why we left. Then in the US there was just none of that fear and instability, and it took a while to realize that you didn't have to watch everything you say and do and feel afraid all the time. The kids at school couldn't really relate at all, but they were nice. In general though, it's a really cool country, because it's so big it's really diverse in like every way- people, land, climate- all that, whereas in Ireland mostly everyone's Irish and Catholic (maybe Protestant) and it rains all the time. There's a lot of good music and movies and stuff too. Americans are also very enthusiastic about Brits and Irish, so all it really took to make friends was for me to talk and once people heard my accent I was like a hundred times more interesting than I was back home. One thing that was kind of annoying was everyone liked to tell me they were Irish, because their great-great-great grandfather came from Ireland, and in the US most people's great-great-great something or other was Irish, so I just heard that a lot.
