Mintz Family House

Dining room

It's a tranquil Monday morning in the Mintz household.

The small family of three are seated at the dining table, having their breakfast.

All that can be heard are the clinking sounds of the cutleries against the plates.

Finally, the middle-aged man with salt and pepper hair clears his throat, about to speak.

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

So, Milo

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

How did the event at the science club go yesterday?

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

Was everything satisfactory?

Milo (Ml)

💭 Translation: Did you win?

Milo drops his fork and wipes his mouth with a napkin, before forcing a smile.

Milo (Ml)

Yes, father

Milo (Ml)

My project came in first place

Milo (Ml)

Apparently, they really liked my motion detector

Milo (Ml)

A ton of companies even said they'd sponsor it further

Tyler smiles, but Milo knows it's a smile of satisfaction and not pride or appreciation.

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

That's my boy

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

You're destined for great things

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

This is why there's no room for distractions

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

Keep your head in the game, always

Milo (Ml)

Yes, father

Milo (Ml)

💭 Even though you've said that a thousand times already

Milo (Ml)

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

And how's high school treating you, honey?

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Any new friends?

Darlene smirks and Milo can tell she's up to no good.

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Any relationships? ( ͡͡ ʖ ͡° )

Milo (Ml)

Don't ask about what you already know, mum

Milo (Ml)

I'm still the opposite of a female magnet

Milo (Ml)

Nobody wants me

Milo (Ml)

Not that I care...

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Oh, come on now!

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

The ladies at your school must have really bad taste

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Who wouldn't want my cute, intelligent baby?

Milo cringes, inwardly wishing that he didn't just hear that.

Milo (Ml)

Mum, PLEASE

He sighs a breath of relief when his father joins the weird conversation, saving him from saying anything else.

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

Sweetheart, how many times have I told you to stop encouraging such things?

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

Relationships?

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

Milo doesn't have time for that

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Oh please, Tyler 🤨

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Our boy is already seventeen years of age and not getting any younger

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Let him live a little!

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Don't tell me you're raising an eunuch?

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Or a reverend father?

Milo (Ml)

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

Now you're just blowing things out of proportion

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

No one said he was going to be single and miserable for the rest of his life

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)

But there's a time for everything-

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

Exactly, well said (￣∇￣)

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

And the time for my baby to be someone else's baby is now

And then the middle-aged couple continue to argue back and forth for a while, leaving Milo in all his awkward glory.

Milo (Ml)

💭 Oh brother. This one's gonna take a while

He rises from his seat and picks up his bag.

Milo (Ml)

So um

Milo (Ml)

While you two argue about my nonexistent love life

Milo (Ml)

I'll get myself to school

Milo (Ml)

Bye

And that wraps up this conservation...?

Uh not quite.

Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)

NO SON OF MINE IS BECOMING AN EUNUCH!

Tyler Mintz (Milo's father)
