[there's a shrill, babbling voice of a worried mother meerkat cutting across the board]

I knew it, I knew it - why did I give him so much space? Why did I keep my mouth shut? It seemed something good to try at the time but but - he's gone! He's been gone for so long and he hasn't come back and he always came back except now! He's not coming back this time, I just know it. And I don't even know where he went... Timon, all alone out in this frightening jungle!

[long, quiet, jittery pause... and then a hitched sob]

He's dead. My little Timmy is... is dead!

[because Ma totally has all the evidence for this. yep.]

A flamingo, Pumbaa?

... Wait, no. We're not getting into this.

[learntoloveem.livejournal.com]

It was a very angry flamingo.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I don't care about the flamingo.

[learntoloveem.livejournal.com]

But you asked.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

But I took it back.

[learntoloveem.livejournal.com]

...You still asked.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I vetoed it!

[learntoloveem.livejournal.com]

...You should've vetoed it sooner.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I vetoed as soon as I could!

[learntoloveem.livejournal.com]

[A pause.]

Then you shouldn't have said it in the first place.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I was preoccupied.

[learntoloveem.livejournal.com]

You were?

Mother... Issues.
