When it comes to co-parenting, even going to the movies can be a challenge. Hope you like it! ^^

Gruncle Gonsod: Oh, Grover’s crown… [covers Gallus’ ears]
Gallus: Huh?
Grandpa Gruff: What is it— Uh, Gons, what are you doing?
Gruncle Gonsod: Making sure Gallus isn’t listening to all this negativity. You just had to pick this movie, didn’t you?
Grandpa Gruff: What’s wrong with the movie I picked?
*Gruncle Gonsod: I don’t think it’s cub friendly. *
Grandpa Gruff: I’m raising a cub. Why would I pick a movie that isn’t cub friendly?
Gruncle Gonsod: I’m just saying it does not seem appropriate for our child to watch. Too violent and dramatic.
Grandpa Gruff: First, do not call my grandson “our child”. He’s under my custody and you’re only helping me take care of him until I’m back on my paws and claws again. Second, this movie is clearly rated for all ages, you thickheady moron!
Gruncle Gonsod: Oh, so now that means you get to make all the decisions? What are you, the man in the relationship?
Grandpa Gruff: We’re not in a relationship.
Gruncle Gonsod: Well, guess what, I’m a man too. And this man has full declaration of his rights to call his co-foster grandchild “his child” if he wants to.
Grandpa Gruff: You’re very lucky the kid is present, otherwise I’d use my more above-average vocabulary.
Gruncle Gonsod: [to Gallus] Pay him no mind, Gallus. He’s just being a big ol’ grump. [to Grandpa Gruff] By the way, did you wash the dishes before we left?
Grandpa Gruff: What?! I thought you did that.
Gruncle Gonsod: No, I didn’t. I was at the marketplace, remember?
Grandpa Gruff: Well, you cooked breakfast. You were supposed to wash them then! You just can’t do one job right, can you?
Gruncle Gonsod: Maybe I would, if you had helped me with the laundry last week. Only you would use five different towels a day!
Grandpa Gruff: Well, only you would make such an awful breakfast! Seriously, do ya have to put carrots in everything?
Gruncle Gonsod: They are organic and they’re from my garden. Helps save some money too. You should be grateful.
Grandpa Gruff: Ugh, it’s already too fussy in the day to be dealing with you.
Gruncle Gonsod: Why don’t you relax? You turn into a real maniac about these things.
Grandpa Gruff: I am relaxed. I’m more relaxed than you’ll ever be.
Gruncle Gonsod: It’s not a competition.
Gallus: Um, what’s happening?
Grandpa Gruff: Grownup matters, sonny.

So, here’s a little background story behind this: When the rest of their friends got married and moved in with their wives, Gruncle Gonsod was offered to move in to his best friend’s, Grandpa Gruff, house as he was struggling finding a place to stay after the death of his younger sister and after his relationship with his family became rather distant. The two were roommates for many of years, before Gonsod moved into his family’s house, until he moved back for a few weeks to help Gruff take care of Gallus when the cub and elder first met. The two were equally protective of Gallus, though Gruff always tended to be the more free-spirited of the two. Gallus was rather suspicious of Gonsod at first out of overprotectiveness — even as an 8-to-9-year old, the child was no fool and was quick to discover Gonsod’s certain admiration for his grandfather. Hey, even children get overprotective of their parents. But, after making sure he was an “okay guy”, he began to like him. The two elders would bicker quite often, usually over chores and trivial matters, but would still act like all parents. Sometimes, Gallus would feel like having more than one grandpa.
