These were the best years of our lives, were they not, Tish?

Nevermore was created as a safe haven for our children to learn and to grow, no matter who or what they are.

I knew I should have worn my plague mask.

I give my mom 30 seconds before her judge-y claws come out.

I thought Thing was filling you in on my every move.

I uncovered your feeble subterfuge almost immediately.

So, how’s the little fella doing? Does he still have all his fingers?

Since you’ve abandoned me here, I’ve been hunted, haunted, and the target of an attempted murder.

Have you not been waxing?

Are you feeling well? You’re looking a touch anemic.

It’s good to see you too, Mom. And you, Dad.

So, are you going to make me ask?

Ajax and I haven’t defined our relationship yet.

Well, that is a disappointment.
