- There's something
very peculiar about watching your children when you're
not around. I wish there was a word for it. Lemme make
one up: pranxiety. That feeling where you're proud but
you're also a little uneasy because they're literally
MADE of you and your significant other... and they're
just being them. So every tiny subtle moment is a
culmination of choices you've made, that they've taken
and run with. You hang on their every word because
you're just not sure where they're going. This is how
it felt when my dad told me that the kids were excited
about the poison exhibit and they talked about it SO
much that my dad started filming them. This is the
result:

- That
ENTIRE VIDEO is pranxiety exemplified. I nearly
held my breath the entire time because it's clear Cam
is in this zone that he's never in with us. There's a
hierarchy with your parents, but here? He was an equal
sitting at the table (seemingly drinking coffee,
though it was cocoa) discussing what clearly had
spectacular effect on both of them. Now Vienna often
talks this way, she's always had this old soul thing
with her, but she's super shy on camera. Cameron still
plays "baby" quite often so seeing this was just a
shock. Then you tear up a bit. Then you laugh... it's
just amazing watching what is truly just an amalgom of
everything you've ever said to you children as a
parent get spit back outto others.
-
- I mean, get used
to it, right? Like - watching them perform or do
anything from this point on will have the tendency to
give you that same lump in your throat. Me being a
tragic empath isn't gonna lessen it either. I gotta
watch it again.

- The pig died, so
it was really sad.

- Oh GOD this
slays me. What a precious video.
